Lopez Cristobal Parcela Uno
This delicious red is made of 100% Tinta del País, the Tempranillo grape of the Ribera del Duero region, with grapes planted in the first vineyard of the domaine in the 1980's, carefully hand-picked and selected by family members only. Its colour is an elegant, deep cherry red, and its palate is fleshy and savoury, with fine, rich tannins. Parcela Uno will pair very nicely with a barbecue, a piece of venison, mature cheese, grilled vegetables, asparagus cream, and, for adventurous palates, dark chocolate.
