Finca Villacreces Pruno Ribera del Duero 2023
£17.45
The wine
Pruno is Finca Villacreces's acclaimed, great-value Ribera del Duero, old-vine Tempranillo with a little Cabernet. Ripe, smooth and beautifully made, it punches well above its price.
Blackberry, black cherry and plum meet vanilla, cedar and gentle spice. The palate is full and rounded, with juicy dark fruit, fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.
A versatile match for grilled meats, lamb and cheese. Serve at cool room temperature.

View all Finca Villacreces winesFinca Villacreces is one of the finest estates of Ribera del Duero, set on a bend of the Duero river in the heart of Spain's great red-wine region. Its vineyards lie within the famous golden mile, alongside legendary neighbours. The wines are among the most refined in the appellation.
Old-vine Tempranillo grows on stony, alluvial soils beside the river, sheltered by a protective pine forest. The harsh continental climate and low yields give deep, concentrated fruit. Farming is careful and increasingly organic.
The range runs from the acclaimed, great-value Pruno to the structured estate Ribera del Duero and the rare, old-vine flagship Nebro. Tempranillo leads throughout, aged in French oak for polish. Each is powerful yet elegant.
Finca Villacreces's wines combine the power of Ribera del Duero with real finesse and freshness. They reward cellaring and grace the finest tables. This is a benchmark estate of modern Spain.
