Finca Villacreces Nebro Ribera del Duero is an exceptional wine that captures the essence of Ribera del Duero, one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. This single-vineyard wine is crafted from hand-selected Tempranillo grapes grown on the estate’s 64-hectare vineyard. The wine has a deep ruby-red color with intense aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of vanilla, spices, and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a long-lasting finish. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months, adding complexity and a subtle touch of smoky vanilla. Finca Villacreces Nebro Ribera del Duero is an elegant wine that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, stews, and mature cheeses.

The wine opens with aromas of a bouquet of mocha, coffee, sweet spice, and wild blackberry. On the palate, it is packed with layers of spicy black fruits, length, and well-concealed tannins. It has a soft, toasted aftertaste.
