2018 Corimbo

The second wine from Ribera del Duero is the 2018 Corimbo, produced with Tempranillo from their younger and organically farmed, non-irrigated vines. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels, but now the barrels are in the background and the foreground is a mélange of wild flowers, herbs and berries with just a spicy touch. The wine feels fresher, less ripe and extracted, quite elegant and harmonious. A much more drinkable and fresh Corimbo from a cooler vintage in the Duero. Bravo!
