Located within Castilla y Le\u00f3n \u2013 Spain\u2019s largest autonomous region \u2013 it is home to more than 300 wineries and 2,300 brands, all of which have an almost singular focus: tempranillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually referred to in these parts as Tinto Fino or Tinta del Pais to distinguish it from other nearby tempranillos as well as to highlight the uniqueness of the Ribera del Duero\u2019s unique influence on the grape\u2019s characteristics, the thick-skinned grape is grown in a place of extremes \u2013 extreme temperatures, rocky terrain, and high altitudes. Despite these inherent challenges, the reward in Cervantes\u2019s assertion explains why winemakers have chosen to practice their craft here: breathtaking results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ribera del Duero translates to the riverbanks of the Duero \u2013 the river that cuts a 70 mile path (110 km) path through the region, lending diverse soils and an ever-so-slight moderating effect on the climate. It is a place where castles (\u201ccastillos\u201d) dominate the landscape and with those, a reminder of the history that informs not just the winegrowing here but also the importance of the region to the development of the entire country of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"44470\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170703640_2bda1678a0_6k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"44471\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/52170226501_ea9335b7a4_6k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A complex past<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most countries that have been around for thousands of years, Spain has a storied history. Castilla y Le\u00f3n plays a significant role in that. The Romans ruled the country before the fall of the Roman Empire. The Moors \u2013 Muslims from North Africa \u2013 moved in and were mostly in control for a few hundred years. But their Islamist beliefs were at odds with the Christianity of the ruling kings, and conflict followed. Not until the 15th&nbsp;century could the Spaniards claim Spain as their own once and for all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this end, the castles of the region served a very real purpose \u2013 to defend against any would-be invaders. Today, they lend architectural beauty to the landscape and attract visitors the world over. Of particular note is Pe\u00f1afiel, a castle in the Valladolid province \u2013 one of four winegrowing regions in the Ribera del Duero. This impressive fortress is more than 650 feet (200m) long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wine is part of the history here too having been produced for well over 2,000 years. It took a few hundred more years before relatively advanced winemaking techniques would be introduced by the Benedictine monks in the 12th&nbsp;century, but those developments ultimately set the stage for Ribera del Duero to gain Denomination of Origin status in 1982. What has followed is a reputation as one of the great wine regions of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A regal grape<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For good reason, Tinto Fino (aka Tempranillo) remains king in Ribera del Duero. Unlike other Tempranillos, Tinto Fino is a darker, more tannic version of its counterparts. Also, because many of the Ribera del Duero vines have been around for decades, they have managed to adapt to the short growing season and develop their fruit relatively quickly. The result is complex wines with balanced acidity, a backbone of tannins, dark fruit, and sturdy structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, grapes from different plots are typically hand-picked and fermented separately, so winemakers can control the process and understand the best way to make wine from each parcel. While organic viticulture is becoming increasingly popular throughout the wine world, many growers in the region have always farmed organically. In Ribera del Duero, sustainability is not a trend. It\u2019s a tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just part of what lends Ribera del Duero wines their reputation. Spain\u2019s most expensive wines come from this region and because of that, the bar is high for producers at all levels to create exceptional wines with equally exceptional value. This translates to wines that can be equally at home on the everyday table as they are on the most exclusive ones. When you have a wine region that is as challenging to grow grapes as Ribera del Duero, the dedication by winemakers to make wines at all levels is, by definition, focused and intense \u2013 just like their wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps paradoxically, that intensity translates to wines that offer finesse, elegance, and luxury. All of this comes at a fraction of the price compared to other super-premium wines from world-renowned regions like Napa, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Piedmont. Ribera del Duero wines can go head-to-head with the wines from any of these regions, but fortunately for Ribera lovers, the competition stops at price. Same superior-level wines at a lower price? Score!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beyond tempranillo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Tinto Fino gets the lion\u2019s share of attention from winemakers in the Ribera del Duero, several other varieties of grapes also grow in these parts. Reds are mainstays like cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and grenache tinto, while the best-known white grape is Albillo Mayor. Although bottled as a varietal wine, this grape is sometimes blended into red wines largely because of its rich mouthfeel. Most of the other grapes are not well known beyond the region, but they play a role in the wines that are made here including ros\u00e9s.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Music and wine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The over 100-mile reach of the Ribera Del Duero encompasses four main provinces \u2013 Valladolid, Burgos, Segovia, and Soria. It is also home to myriad historical and cultural attractions. One of the most popular is the three-day music festival held every August called Sonorama Ribera. Taking place in Aranda del Duero in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, wine inevitably plays a big role in the celebration. While the musicians might take literal center stage, the regional wine is unquestionably the supporting act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Big wine, big food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a world-class wine region needs great food to go with it. Luckily, the thousands of sheep in the region help answer the call. Here, sheep are the source of two of the regional culinary mainstays \u2013 roast baby lamb called Lechazo \u2014 and sheep\u2019s milk cheeses. Lechazo could be called a \u201cdestination dish\u201d in that people come to Ribera del Duero just for the local version. It is no accident that it has DO designation just like its regional wine match. Part of the delicacy comes from the fact the lamb used for the dish must have only lived on its mother\u2019s milk; it must be no more than 25 pounds, and it must be no more than five weeks old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both foods are natural pairings with Tinto Fino. So too the mushrooms, local sausages, soups, breads and other hearty foods of the region. No matter what part of the world, if you combine anything barbecued and Tinto Fino, you\u2019ll be a happy camper. More accurately, given the elegance of these wines, you\u2019ll be a happy glamper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDiligence is the mother of good fortune\u201d \u2013 Chapter XLIII, Part II, Miguel de Cervantes This quote from Castilla y Le\u00f3n\u2019s most famous author could be applied to many things, but perhaps no more so than to the wine region of Ribera del Duero, an area two hours north of Madrid.
