Description

Conde de San Cristobal Oydor 2018

With a very limited production of 900 bottles, this great wine is a tribute to the first Count of San Cristóbal, who was OYDOR of the Royal Chancery of Valladolid and Knight of Carlos III

Grape Varietals & Regions: 100% Tinta Fina, from the Quintana del Pidio area, in the highest and coldest part of the DO Ribera del Duero

Taste Profile: Intense garnet color, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits stands out on the nose, with hints of minerality and spices. Elegant on the palate, silky and powerful at the same time, with a very characteristic freshness. A prominent and complex wine with great ageing capacity

Winemaking Process: Aged 18 – 20 months in French oak barrels. Nothing much else is released from the winery

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
