El Quintanal, Ribera del Duero, Spain, 2006

December 4, 2008. Having lunch at recommendable Trigo restaurant, Valladolid, Spain, I had a couple of glasses of fruity and tasteful red El Quintanal, a product of Bodega Los Olmos by winemaker Oscar Aragón from renowned Cillar de Silos .

El Quintanal is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, D.O. Quintana del Pidio. The light touch of wood makes it surprisingly tasteful, being such a young wine.

It was a perfect match for the Lomo de Añojo steak.
