2015 Bodega Matarromera Reserva, Ribera del Duero, Spain

ABOUT THIS WINE

For the reserva, Bodega Matarromera chooses grapevines with the following properties:

1. Strains that are over 25 years old and with moderate vegetation, which produce smaller clusters and grapes. Why is that? The concentration of coloor, polyphenols, and other properties of the grape is higher. In short: less quantity, but higher quality. Less is more! This type of strains is mainly found at higher altitudes.
   
   
2. Calcareous soils located at an altitude of over 750 meters. As previously mentioned, one of the biggest factors to influence wine is the soil in which the vineyard is planted. Limestone is a type of calcareous rock that provides good water drainage and makes for full-bodied wines, suitable for aging.
