Pepe Yllera Red wine

Pepe Yllera Roble 2021 is a remarkable red wine crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes, sourced from the prestigious D.O. Ribera del Duero region. The vineyards that produce this exquisite wine boast an impressive age range of 30 to 40 years, ensuring a depth of flavor and character. This wine is a tribute to one of the founders of the Bodega, Pepe Yllera, encapsulating the essence of dedication and passion for winemaking.

This semi-crianza wine matures for six months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, followed by an additional six months in the bottle. The careful crafting process begins with manual harvesting, where grapes undergo double selection both in the vineyard and at the winery. The journey of this wine includes destemming, alcoholic fermentation at 28°C in concrete tanks, malolactic fermentation, clarification, and transfers before being aged in barrels and bottled.

Pepe Yllera Roble exhibits a stunning cherry red color, enriched with cardinal highlights. Its powerful nose bursts with enticing aromas of red and black fruits, complemented by spicy notes of vanilla and licorice, along with balsamic hints of eucalyptus that emanate from the superior oak maturation. On the palate, the wine is smooth, velvety, and generous, offering a friendly acidity that refreshes and balances perfectly, leading to a long, satisfying finish marked by flavors of wild berries and vanilla.

This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for your dining experiences. It complements all kinds of meats, particularly the rich flavors of Iberian cured meats, white and red meats, roast lamb, and suckling pig. It also enhances the taste of small game (like hare and partridge), legume stews, and both cured and semi-cured cheeses.
