2024 Bodegas Torremorón, Ribera del Duero, Spain

ABOUT THIS WINE

Crafted from 100% Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto Fino), this wine comes from high-altitude vineyards in Ribera del Duero, where extreme temperature shifts between day and night help preserve acidity while allowing for full phenolic ripeness. The soils—primarily clay, limestone, and sand—contribute to the wine’s structure and depth.

Bodegas Torremorón is a cooperative made up of small growers, many of whom farm old vines that produce naturally low yields and concentrated fruit. The grapes are typically hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and primary fruit character. Aging is often minimal or carried out in neutral vessels, emphasizing purity and approachability.

The 2024 vintage is youthful and energetic, showcasing the bright, fruit-forward side of Ribera del Duero. It pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, tapas, or charcuterie.
