PINEA in the world

“What distinguishes the best Ribera del Duero wines is a mixture of intense concentration and lifted, complex aromatics, and ‘17 by Pinea’ captures that elusive combination beautifully. Having tasted so many blocky, super-rich, oak-slathered reds from this appellation, this wine was a refreshing change of pace.”

“…a concentrated and elegant Ribera del Duero… long, polished finish. Drink or hold”.

“I’m impressed by the texture of this wine [17 by PINEA] “

“It’s a heavyweight… chunky blackberry and fig flavors swathed with chocolate notes from aging in 30 months in French oak. It remains oaky and thick into the finish. Drink through 2032.”

“Expressive ripe raspberry fruit, cinnamon and vanilla nose. Palate is firmly structured and multi-layered, with lovely purity, ripe and round tannins and a really good persistence of flavour. Well made and stylish.”

“Pinea is a world class expression of Tempranillo at its very best!”

“…elegant profile with a plush core of fruit…, well-integrated tannins and a long, ripe and well-balanced finish… a very impressive first release… clearly aiming for the very top division in Ribera del Duero”.

“… if Pinot Noir is silk then Tempranillo is velvet and the texture of this wine reflects this perfectly. The tannins are substantial but very polished and elegant. It’s obvious that there is some classy winemaking involved here but the minerality of the site still persists on the finish”.

“… this is by far the best Tempranillo I’ve ever experienced”.

“A great new Ribera shows incredible dedication to quality, resulting in a bold wine with power but staying true to the region.”
