Dominio del Águila Reserva | Dominio del Águila
Fruit comes from some of the oldest vines in the village of La Aguilera, many over 100 years old and some even pre-phylloxera. Elevage takes place in a cool cellar at a very slow rate, spending 35 months in old barrels before release. The resulting wine is incredibly refined, but still with true Ribera del Duero character.
