The wine
The 'quintessential' from Finca Villacreces, a wine that started life in an exceptional parcel set among pine, olive and juniper trees, in the Golden Mile hugging the River Duero, with vines over 80 years old, and produced from small clusters with tiny berries. A little gem, seductive, richly textured and flavoured. A wine that won't disappoint from beginning to end of a meal, offering plenty to discover with every mouthful.
