Description
Alonso del Yerro María is the flagship wine of Viñedos Alonso del Yerro, made exclusively in the best vintages, a sign of the dedication and passion that the winery puts into each vintage. This red wine comes from two specific plots of the estate in Ribera del Duero: El Circo, a clay slope that provides depth and structure, and Violeta, a calcareous gravel soil that gives the wine elegance and floral notes. The vineyard, located at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level, was planted in 1989 and stands out for the richness and ripeness it conveys to the fruit.
Winemaking
Alonso del Yerro María 's winemaking process seeks to highlight the authenticity of the terroir, using 60-hectolitre wooden vats for careful fermentation, minimising intervention and letting the grapes take centre stage. The wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, providing a balance between structure and subtlety, without the wood dominating the wine's profile.
Taste
Alonso del Yerro María displays a sensory range that evokes the elegance and power of its origin. To the eye, it has a deep ruby purple colour, with a rim that hints at a long life ahead. On the nose, the aromatic intensity is immediately perceptible: ripe red fruits such as raspberry and hints of jam intertwine with subtle notes of vanilla, leather and smoke from the ageing process. The mouthfeel is enveloping, with powerful but polished tannins that provide a silky texture and a remarkable balance between acidity and alcohol. The finish is long and pleasant, leaving an echo of liquorice and spices, ideal for enjoyment and meditation.
This wine stands out for its capacity to evolve, with potential to offer new facets in the coming years. Ideal to serve between 16-18°C, it is a tribute to patience and respect for viticulture, making each glass an unparalleled experience.
