Robert Parker

"The Antiguos Viñedos (old vineyards) displays superb freshness for a warmer, riper vintage like 2012, resulting in a wine that is livelier than expected. The cooler climate of Quintana de Pidio and the old vines provide a beautiful balance to the vintage’s conditions, and the naturally balanced, juicy wine benefits greatly from its time in oak. It offers balance, concentration, and intensity, with fine tannins and plenty of freshness. A classic Ribera.” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)
