El Lebrero 2020

The Callejo family have been making a pure Albillo Mayor since 2012, but it's only in the last two years that it has been able to call itself a Ribera del Duero. This comes from two high-altitude parcels - La Virgen and El Lebrero itself - and is fermented in concrete eggs, larger oak and stainless steel, with around a third of the blend seeing skin contact. Spicy and perfumed, with vanilla top notes, chalky freshness, some cream and orange peel and good underlying structure.
