The exceptional ‘Ribera’, exclusive and of excellent vintage.
At Vinoselección we have kept our eye on Ébano since its inception, and gradually a friendship has grown that has allowed us to present several of its wines exclusively to you. Now it features Ébano Reserva 2021, a red from an excellent vintage that shows us a Ribera del Duero elegant and delicate. Best enjoyed now.
Awarded a vintage rated as Excellent in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, Ébano Reserva 2021is produced from the oldest Tempranillo vines of the winery, situated in the Castrillo de Duero area and cultivated in the traditional bush system. The harvest is carried out manually to maximise care for each bunch and to ensure the grapes reach the winery intact. After completely destemming, the grapes pass into stainless steel tanks. There they undergo maceration and fermentation at controlled temperatures for 15-20 days. Before initiating malolactic fermentation, a light micro-oxygenation is applied, a key step to enhance and preserve the primary aromas of the fruit. Finally, the wine ages for 459 days in French oak barrels.
Carlos Gómez, owner of AdegasValmiñor (D.O. Rías Baixas), arrived at the Duero basin at the start of this century to fulfil his dream of founding a winery in Ribera del Duero. Thus, in 2004 Ébano Viñedos y Bodegas was born, based in Castrillo de Duero (Valladolid). A firm that is today fully established. The care of the vineyard - 43 hectares owned - is one of its trademarks. Yields of the vines range between 2,500 and 4,000 kg/ha, and harvest is always manual.For the ageing they have a programme of 400 barrels of French oak.

Ébano Viñedos y Bodegas was founded in 2004 in Castrillo de Duero (Burgos) and manages 47 hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Gumiel de Mercado and Quintana del Pidio, with an average age of between 14 and 25 years. Work at the vine level is fundamental for the winery: half of the vineyard is planted in bush vines and the other half in trellis, with yields not exceeding 2,500 and 4,000 kg/ha, respectively. They also carry out leaf analysis, green pruning, cluster thinning, and soil analysis to understand and determine the needs of the vines. Ébano Viñedos y Bodegas always harvests manually and, in the winery, is equipped with the most modern technology for wine production and a stock of more than 400 French oak barrels.
