2018 BODEGAS PINEA “17” by PINEA RIBERA del DUERO

The local name for the Tempranillo clone grown in Ribera del Duero is Tinto Fino. It adapted to the region’s frigid, snowy winters and dry, hot summers, which gives the grapes thicker skins, deeper color, and more tannic structure than its cousin in Rioja. Winemakers here rarely blend Tempranillo with other varietals in the appellation because of its robust character and knockout structure that can be enjoyed young or aged and most definitely pairs well with food.

Causa est is a Latin expression meaning “reason to be” or “reason to exist” and represents the objective for winemaker Isaac Fernandez and his winemaking team at Pinea. Patience is not only a virtue but a necessary component for winemaking. Once a wine comes to its apex in the aging process, it reaches its causa est, leaving an immediate impression that will last a lifetime.
