D.O. RIBERA DEL DUERO, Spain
From northern Spain’s Ribera del Duero region or “banks of the Duero River” where centuries old
castle ruins can be seen rising up above the countryside and vineyards, the wines from Diez
Llorente also combine decades of the history knowledge of our ancestors with the youth and energy
of a new generation.
Made with select, low-yield, handpicked Tempranillo (temp-ra-nee-yo) grapes grown in our family
estate vineyards, Diez Llorente Crianza show a deep ruby to purple color with flavors and aromas
of dark fruits and just a hint of coffee. 14 months aging in small French and American oak barrels
lends a touch of spice, licorice, vanilla and a long, smooth finish. This complex, medium to heavy
bodied wine combines great depth of fruit, with well-integrated tannins and acidity. Pair it with all
sorts of meats, game, cheeses and salmon.
