CABALLERO ZIFAR TEMPRANILLO

01/06

Vintage

2022 in Ribera del Duero is a short but really complex and very expressive vintage where the different terroirs are expressed, clearly differentiating their own characteristics.A fairly cool spring delayed the vegetative cycle of the vine, thus avoiding any loss due to frost. The high summer temperatures and the absence of humidity have facilitated exceptional health of the grapes in this 2022 vintage, which has decreased in quantity, but has been of good quality. In these extreme weather conditions, it was precisely the old vines that make up our wines that showed themselves best, achieving a balance in flavors and tannins that make 2022 a truly great vintage.
