Tasting notes
The 2021 Pruno is a blend of Tempranillo with a 5% dash of Cabernet Sauvignon from Quintanilla de Onésimo, aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Garnet-red with a purplish sheen. The fruit-forward aromas feature plum and cherry along with herbal and oaky layers. The palate is broad and indulgent with reactive, juicy tannins. This is a mild but rewarding Ribera del Duero red.

The heady and grapey 2021 Pruno has seen the Cabernet Sauvignon reduced to 6% of the bottled blend, and it's a powerful and ripe Ribera with 14.3% alcohol and good freshness that makes it come through as juicy and fine-boned, with chalky tannins. There are abundant notes of prunes and very ripe black fruit here. It matured in 225- and 500-liter barrels for one year. 635,000 bottles, 10,000 magnums and 100 double magnums produced. It was bottled in November 2022.
