Ribera del Duero DO | Spain
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
Spain’s most fascinating, awarded, and sought-after domaine tells the story of a visionary vigneron: Jorge Monzón. With experience at the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Vega Sicilia, and Arzuaga Navarro, Jorge returned to his native village of Aguilera in Ribera del Duero, where he gathered some of the region’s most extraordinary old vineyards.
Through certified organic farming and meticulous, terroir-driven winemaking, Jorge and Isabel Rodero are now at the forefront of Spanish wines — crafting whites, clarets, and reds that captivate experts around the world.

Scores & Reviews
96 points — Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The white 2020 Albillo Viñas Viejas also had a very slow fermentation because it's quite rich, and it feels more generous and rounder than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It has a more approachable nose that is less reductive and flinty, more civilized. It was a cool year, and the wine has amazing parameters—13% alcohol and a pH of 3.02 and no sugar—coming though as bone dry and chalky. It matured in French oak barrels for 35 months.”

Tasting Notes
A white with striking personality: an elegant and open nose with mineral notes, hints of white fruit, and a chalky background. On the palate, it is deep, dry, with tense structure, an almost saline texture, and a long, sophisticated finish. A rare Albillo with excellent aging potential, reflecting the pure essence of its terroir.
