Taste Block

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this is a deep, dark red-cherry hue with violet highlights. The nose opens with mature red fruit of raspberry, cranberry, and currant, followed by gentle oak tones that remain in the background. On the palate, the wine is fresh, focused, and fruit-driven, offering a mix of red-berry supported by a silky, even texture. Moderate tannins with clean acidity, and a long finish of red fruit and subtle spice.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo pairs best when you match its firm tannins and concentrated fruit with dishes that have enough protein and savory depth, especially grilled or roasted meats and slow-cooked preparations. Herbs, smoke, and gentle spice—think rosemary, thyme, paprika, garlic, or mild chiles—act as natural bridges to the wine’s red and dark-fruit character. Avoid heavy sweetness and very sharp, high-acid sauces, and instead choose dishes with balanced acidity and a savory core so the wine’s structure and fruit stay in line.

About the Producer

Finca La Capilla is based in Roa de Duero, one of the central municipalities of the Ribera del Duero DO and a longstanding hub for viticulture in northern Burgos. The estate was founded in 1998 as Bodegas Robeal by Juan Miñón, who began by planting 160 acres of Tempranillo across Roa de Duero, Anguix, La Horra, and Fuentecén. In 2019, the property was acquired by Marqués de Cáceres. The Forner family, who lead Marqués de Cáceres, brings nearly a century of international wine experience to the project. Despite the change in ownership, continuity remained in the vineyard and cellar through Rodrigo Miñón, a viticulturist and winemaker with extensive knowledge of Ribera del Duero.
