Martin Berdugo is a recently formed family-run estate of only 84 hectares under vine. The estate benefits from a gravelly, pebbled soil, not disimilar to Chateauneuf-du-Pape's famous soils. This allows excellent drainage and warmer than typical evening termperatures.
Everything is done to maximise flavour: for example, only 10 bunches are left on each vine, to concentrate the fruit. All harvesting is done by hand to ensure that every bunch is in peak condition. The winemaking philosophy is that quality and wine-personality begin in the vineyard.
A modern and very stylish red wine from the fashionable Ribera del Duero region made by Antonio Martin Diaz and his team. Barrica is aged in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barriques. We always ask Antonio to hold back for 12 months before releasing his wine to the UK; enhancing the complexity and smoothness of the wine.
