This manages to marry the boldness and freshness of Ribera del Duero reds with some charm and is already so harmonious that it’s delicious now, but has the structure to hold through to at least 2023.

This beautifully labelled wine draws on Torres’s own 35ha of Ribera del Duero vineyards, sited at 895m, complemented by further grape purchases. The aim is that the wine will eventually be made from Torres-grown fruit alone. It’s still more of an exercise in blackcurrant and black plum purity than the Manso de Velasco: lean, lunging, sculpted and vividly balanced, with prominent acidity but restrained oak.
