Merlot is an authorized grape variety in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, usually used to give longevity to great aged wines. Nevertheless, the regulations don’t allow it to be used exclusively. That’s why taking into account its uniqueness and great expression we prefer to launch this wine as “Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon”.
