Cune 2022 Ribera Del Duero

The 2022 vintage in Ribera del Duero was marked by hot, dry conditions and a relatively early harvest. The region saw intense summer heat, which led to smaller yields and concentrated fruit, but crucially, cooler nighttime temperatures at high altitudes helped preserve acidity and aromatic clarity. This vintage produced powerful, fruit-forward wines with great balance and approachability.

Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions:
Aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and a touch of cinnamon, layered with hints of vanilla, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and well-structured, with juicy dark fruit flavors, notes of clove, graphite, and a whisper of mocha. The tannins are fine and approachable, balanced by bright acidity that lifts the wine through a long, smooth finish with subtle notes of licorice, spice, and minerality.
Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large red wine glasses to highlight its depth and aromatic intensity. While no extended decanting is necessary, 30–45 minutes of air can help soften the wine and expand its bouquet. Ideal pairings include grilled lamb chops, Iberico pork, paella with chorizo, or hard cheeses.
