Portia Roble Ribera del Duero 2024 15% ABV 0.75 l

The Portia Roble Ribera del Duero 2024 15 % is a dry Spanish red wine from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, produced by Bodegas Portia in Gumiel de Izán in the province of Burgos. The 2024 vintage is made exclusively from 100% Tempranillo, the signature red grape variety of this renowned wine region in Castile and León. Following vinification, the wine undergoes a brief ageing period of at least three months in oak barrels, which gives it additional structure without losing its youthful character. With this wine, Bodegas Portia deliberately combines the typical expressiveness of Tempranillo with a comparatively short period of barrel ageing. The winery itself is also renowned for its extraordinary building, designed by Foster + Partners, which combines modern architecture with the winemaking tradition of Ribera del Duero.

The Portia Roble 2024, in this 0.75 l bottle, has an alcohol content of 15% and is dry. For this vintage, a residual sugar content of 0.9 g/l and a total acidity of 5.7 g/l are stated; the bottle is sealed with a natural cork. Its brief ageing in oak positions the wine stylistically between a young, immediately approachable Tempranillo and Ribera del Duero wines that are more strongly characterised by oak ageing. It is precisely the combination of Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero, brief oak ageing and the 2024 vintage that makes it a versatile Spanish red wine, ideal for pairing with food and for social occasions. The recommended drinking window for this vintage is stated as having a cellaring potential until around the end of 2028.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Portia Roble 2024 appears clear and luminous, with a medium garnet-red colour and ruby-red highlights. On the nose, there are intense notes of blackberries, wild berries and blueberries, accompanied by subtle toasted aromas from its brief time in oak. On the palate, the Tempranillo is silky and well-balanced, with harmoniously integrated tannins and a pleasantly structured texture. The finish is of medium length and is characterised by subtle toasted notes and hints of nuts.

The Portia Roble Ribera del Duero 2024 pairs superbly with grilled beef and pork, lamb, baked potatoes, and hearty rice and pasta dishes. It is also well suited to mushroom dishes, pulses and medium-aged cheeses. Even more robust fish and seafood dishes can be paired with this young Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. A serving temperature of around 14–16 °C brings out the fruit, structure and subtle influences of barrel ageing in a well-balanced way.
