The wine

A fleshy wine with smoky and floral fragrances, Antídoto has been compared to Syrah wines from the Northern Rhône region. It is a juicy, balanced and very rounded wine with delicious aromas of ripe plums, fine and chalky tannins and a long dry finish. It offers a guaranteed quality year after year and while being perfectly accessible for all wine-lovers it also displays a stunning complexity to impress more demanding enthusiasts. The oak is well-integrated and adds spicy notes to an already aromatic final product. It is smooth and polished on the palate with just enough acidity to add style to its reasonably strong body.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The eponymous red 2021 Antídoto comes from a myriad of plots ranging between 30 and 100 years of age in the Soria part of Ribera del Duero at some 950 meters in altitude on stone, limestone sand and clay soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for nine months in 600-liter French oak barrels, only 5% of them new. It's creamy, velvety and juicy, with 14.57% alcohol and good freshness and acidity. With time in the glass, it develops more complexity and is herbal, meaty and floral, with very fine, chalky tannins. It feels young and lively but approachable. Great value too. 91,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2022.

Winemaking

The grapes macerate for 6 days in the winery and after finishing fermentation the wine is left to age for 12 months in large used French oak vats so as to respect the expressiveness of the fruit which has been so painstakingly cultivated and cared for.

Vineyards

Ever since it was first produced in 2009, Antídoto has grown and grown in popularity. An excellent red wine from Soria, it is made with grapes from a mosaic of 500 plots of old vines planted mainly on pebble-covered terraces in the town of Soto de San Esteban. Here, in the far east of Ribera de Duero, the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) variety produces very low yields averaging just over 3,000 kg per hectare, but with an exceptional quality.

Vineyards are between 30 and 100 years old and grow at altitudes of almost a thousand meters above sea level in a variety of pebble-strewn sandy, chalky and clay soils. Grapes are collected by hand in small crates and the whole winegrowing process follows organic agricultural methods.
