Side. Ribera del Duero is a prestigious designation of origin located in the region of Castilla y León, in northern Spain. This appellation is famous for its red wines, but in recent years, high-quality rosé wines have also been produced in the region.

What grape varieties do we find in the rosé wines of Ribera del Duero?

The rosé wines of the D.O. Ribera del Duero are made mainly from the Tempranillo red grape variety, which is the emblematic variety of the region. Known locally as Tinta del País, this grape is the most predominant in the Ribera del Duero vineyards and forms the base of many of its red wines.

It is also possible to find some rosé wines that incorporate other red grape varieties from the region, such as Merlot, Garnacha, or even Albillo, although to a lesser extent. These combinations can bring additional nuance and complexity to the flavor profile of the wine.

How are rosé wines from Ribera del Duero made?

To produce rosé wines, Tempranillo grapes are harvested at their optimum point of ripeness and undergo a brief maceration, where the grapes are left in contact with their skins for a short period, usually a few hours, to extract the desired color and flavors. After maceration, the must is separated from the solids and fermentation begins, which can take place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve freshness and fruit aromas. Once the fermentation is finished, the Ribera del Duero rosé wines can be subjected to a brief aging in tanks or in oak barrels, depending on the style of the wine.

 

The result is a rosé wine with a pale to deep pink color, balanced acidity, and intense fruit flavors, reflecting the unique expression of the region. Ribera del Duero rosé wines are appreciated for their elegance, freshness, and versatility.

With what can we accompany the rosé wines of Ribera del Duero?
