Region:Ribera del Duero
La Cometa is an authentic Ribera del Duero crafted from Tempranillo vines averaging 70 years old. Grown at high altitude, the grapes are hand picked and foot trodden before 11 months in French oak. Dark plum and cherry meet violet and black pepper, with firm tannins and vibrant freshness. Complex and full of character, this is old-vine Ribera with an artisanal edge.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Germán Robles Blanco
Ribera del Duero is an area known for big reputations, big wines, and big oak influence... not really our thing. So, we were pleased to come across winemaker Germán Blanco, a young winemaker who is championing a fresher style of Tinto del Pais - the local name for Tempranillo. He calls his project a 'Micro-winery' and it is a true family business, based around the village of La Aguilera in the Burgos province. He works with very old vineyards, many of which are planted at over 900 metres above sea level. Germán makes his elegant, fruit-forward wines using foot-treading, wild yeast fermentation and minimal handling. All his wines share a delicious rusticity, purity of fruit, and incredible freshness..
"These old vineyards give us Tempranillo with incredible character and intensity. Our approach in the winery is deliberately hands-off and minimal, allowing the fruit, altitude and soils to speak for themselves and preserving the freshness that makes La Cometa so distinctive." - German Robles Blanco, Winemaker.
