Dehesa de los Canónigos - Ribera del Duero Crianza 2020 (Magnum)

Dehesa de los Canónigos is one of the great historical estates of the Ribera del Duero. Located in Pesquera de Duero, its name refers to the first owner, the Council of the Cathedral of Valladolid, composed of 22 canonic monks.

The Dehesa de los Canónigos winery stands out for its architecture, the naves were rebuilt little by little, until housing what is the winery today.

After passing through several hands, in 1931 it fell into the hands of the Cid family, the brothers Arturo and Ildefonso, married to Amalia García and Rosario Alonso respectively, who were the owners of Dehesa de los Canónigos until the 60s, when they sold the farm.

Dehesa de los Canónigos is located in the Duero Valley, halfway between Valbuena and Pesquera de Duero, within the so-called Ribera Golden Mile.

 A reference to the ecclesiastical origins of the winery. A wine that is only produced during the most exceptional harvests. 

After a careful selection in vineyards, the wine remains 15 months in American oak barrels of one and two years of age with medium toast. The wine gains in power and structure, the complexity provided by the particularities of each of the plots and is integrated with the aromas derived from aging.

Medium-high ruby colour. Clean on the nose, with primary aromas of black fruits such as blackberry, cherry, plum and blackberry, liquorice and forest floor. Aromas of tobacco and light hints of cedar and nutmeg. On the palate, balsamic, toasted and tobacco leaf aromas stand out. Ripe, polished tannin, balanced with acidity, which anticipate a long ageing potential. A structured wine with a long finish.
