Familia Torres produces a fresh and fruity Ribera del Duero
New vintage of the wine produced by the Torres family in their wine project in the Ribera del Duero. Celeste Roble 2025 comes from vines at 895 m above sea level, “where the vines and the sky establish a magical connection,” states the winery. It seeks to express the most genuine Tempranillo, adapted to the soils and demanding climate conditions of the area. It has a brief ageing period of 3 months in oak, and is presented as fresh, with fruity intensity and a smooth palate.
The oak influence is subtle, with a brief and well-measured presence in Celeste Roble 2025, a red wine from the D.O. Ribera del Duero produced by Pago del Cielo, a project of the Torres Family. It is crafted entirely from Tempranillo with a clear aim: to showcase the freshest and most fruity expression of this variety, without losing the character imparted by the region.
To achieve this, the grapes come from vines situated at 895 metres above sea level, where the climate is demanding and the vine responds with distinct personality. The production combines a 15-day maceration with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by a brief crianza of 3 months in oak barrels. A straightforward, direct, and finely tuned process.
Behind it is the Torres Family, who promote this wine from their project in Ribera del Duero with a clear perspective: respecting the vineyard and seeking an honest expression of the land. Celeste Roble 2025 reflects just that—an approachable, contemporary wine crafted to enjoy the region with naturalness.
Consumption features
Pairing
Celeste Roble is a fresh and fruity red wine, with a very juicy profile that pairs beautifully with an Iberico pork presha with peppers, a roasted lamb or lamb cutlets, where its black fruit and refined tannin accompany the meat without overpowering. It also works well with game dishes and sautéed mushrooms, because its Tempranillo character provides balance and a very appealing smoky note.
Service
Are you looking for Celeste Roble to showcase all its freshness and fruit from the first sip? Serve this red wine from Ribera del Duero slowly, so its juicy and velvety profile can fully express itself, and enjoy its fruity character without the need to decant.
Celeste Roble achieves a fresh and fruity expression of Tempranillo. At the winery, the grapes undergo a maceration of 15 days to extract colour and substance without losing vibrancy. Subsequently, the alcoholic fermentation takes place over approximately one week in stainless steel tanks, with temperature carefully controlled between 20 and 26 °C. The result is an accurate production designed to preserve the clean and direct character of the grape and its most genuine profile.
Aging
Soft and juicy on the palate. Celeste Roble undergoes a 3-month maturation in oak barrels following fermentation in stainless steel tanks under temperature control and a 15-day maceration. The bottle ageing period before release to the market is not specified.

While many reds tend to display lighter hues, this one shows a dark, well-covered cherry colour, intense and radiant.
Nose
Celeste Roble offers an intense and fruity nose. It stands out for its aromas of black fruits, especially cherries, accompanied by a fine smoky note that adds depth and a very defined profile.
Mouth

On the palate, it stands out for its abundant fruit character, which provides breadth and a sense of fullness, while its fine, ripe, and well-polished tannin offers balance and a very pleasant texture.
