Portia Crianza Ribera del Duero 2023 15% ABV 0.75 l

The Portia Crianza Ribera del Duero 2023 15 % is a full-bodied Spanish red wine from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, one of the renowned red wine regions of Castile and León. It is produced by Bodegas Portia in Gumiel de Izán in the province of Burgos and is based on Tempranillo, one of the defining grape varieties in Ribera del Duero. The winery belongs to the Martínez Zabala family and combines modern winemaking techniques with the region’s distinctive terroir. For the Portia Crianza, the winery allows the wine to age for at least twelve months in oak barrels. This gives the wine additional structure and depth, whilst preserving the typical character of Tempranillo.

With an alcohol content of 15 per cent in the 0.75-litre bottle, the 2023 vintage is a full-bodied Crianza from Ribera del Duero, particularly recommended as an accompaniment to heartier dishes. The combination of Tempranillo, at least twelve months’ barrel ageing and the D.O. Ribera del Duero makes it an interesting choice for lovers of structured Spanish red wines. Bodegas Portia is also renowned for its extraordinary winery, designed by Foster + Partners, which blends seamlessly into the vineyard landscape of Ribera del Duero. The Portia Crianza 2023 thus combines a traditional Spanish grape variety with the modern approach of a winery specialising in Ribera del Duero.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Portia Crianza presents itself in an intense, clear cherry red with violet highlights. On the nose, ripe wild berries unfold, accompanied by vanilla and subtle toasted notes. On the palate, this red wine is powerful and well-structured, with elegant tannins and well-integrated acidity. The finish is long-lasting and is accompanied by subtle sweet and toasty nuances.

The Portia Crianza Ribera del Duero pairs superbly with beef, lamb, grilled or braised meat, as well as hearty mushroom dishes. It also makes a fine accompaniment to tuna or cod, and to medium-strength cheeses such as Emmental or Gruyère. It is particularly recommended with a mushroom risotto, where the structure and barrel ageing of the Tempranillo really come into their own. For a well-balanced tasting experience, a serving temperature of around 16–18 °C is recommended.
