Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Celia, which comes in a Bordeaux bottle, has a more serious and austere profile than the more voluptuous and showier Inés from this same vintage that is presented in a Burgundy bottle. It's sourced from vineyards with mostly Tempranillo but also 7% Garnacha, which seems to give it an elegant touch. It doesn't lack ripeness, coming in at 15% alcohol, but feels balanced, and the oak is neatly integrated—it spent 16 months in 400-liter barrels and a further three months in 2,000-liter foudre. This is serious and with aging potential. 2,000 bottles and 60 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

Description
Celia Vizcarra is a mature red wine made mainly with Tempranillo and complemented with a small amount of red Garnacha by the Bodegas Vizcarra winery under the Ribera del Duero appellation.
The Tempranillo grapes come from a vineyard over 60 years old planted in goblet and trellised vines.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in 15 kg containers, where they are selected on the table and destemmed prior to fermentation for twenty-five days in new 400 litre open barrels, with three daily punching downs at a temperature of 27 ºC in order to extract as much of the grapes as possible.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in American oak barrels. Finally, the wine is aged for 16 months in French and American oak barrels.
Taste
Celia Vizcarra is a red wine with intense, persistent aromas, a good amount of fruit and spicy notes.
In the mouth it is fresh, ample and enveloping, with sophisticated and elegant tannins, a refreshing acidity and a very long and persistent finish.
A complex and elegant red wine
Celia Vizcarra is one of the most exclusive wines from a very selective and well-designed winery, a truly exclusive Ribera wine!
This red wine that bears a woman's name owes its name to the first daughter of Juan Carlos Vizcarra, founder of Bodegas Vizcarra, a passionate wine lover who decided to follow in his family's footsteps.
In the gastronomic field, this wine is especially recommended for dinners with friends or as a gift and as an accompaniment to beef, game, roasted red meats, big game, roasts and acorn-fed Iberian ham, among others.
