Young Red Wine PRADOREY ORIGIN

Twenty years ago we revolutionized the way of making wines in the Ribera del Duero with the launch of a new category within the aged reds: the Roble category. Now we present Pradorey Origen, a pioneering and groundbreaking wine from its birth that breaks into the market renewed and stronger than ever with an innovative aging in centuries-old clay jars that maintains our current spirit of fusion between the old and the modern. Pradorey Origen is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which has gone through different phases in these two decades: in its first vintage, 1997, it was characterized as a maderized wine due to its long aging in oak barrels, somewhat Easier to drink than the traditional Crianzas from the area, but with a certain complexity. It continued like this until the 2015 vintage, in which we focused on the terroir and reduced barrel aging to three months, giving way to elegance and the primacy of fruit over wood. And finally, Origen 2018 from which we have subtracted another month in oak barrels to give it a rest in a clay pot and thus achieve an earthy and mineral touch that conveys friendliness and complexity instead of power and rusticity. The result is a tasty, restrained and very drinkable red that is liked for its liveliness, its balance and its consistency.
