D.O. Ribera del Duero Don Miguel Comenge

“Don Miguel Comenge 2005” was made entirely with grapes from the estate of "Las Hontanillas", a vineyard planted on the poor limestone slopes of Pesquera de Duero, where the grapes obtain the most complex bouquet of all Comenge Winery vines. The wine is characterised by its rich colour and potent bouquet, brimming with fruit, spices, Mediterranean herbs, cocoa and tobacco, etc. A wine that is a true pleasure to drink.
