The wine
Milú is a wine of tradition, a fresh young red, which seeks to recapture the original flavours of years gone by. Its creator is Germán R. Blanco, a vine grower originally from Asturias whose aim is to give back to the grape the absolute leading role without losing the historic Ribera character, resulting in wines which make their location truly known. Despite being the winery’s lowest in price, it carves out a clear path along which many others should take, if their intention is to try and project a well-defined picture of the different Ribera terrains.
What does this wine taste like?
It has a sharp and honest nose, with aromas of cherry and undergrowth. Characterful in the mouth, it combines a virtually wild acidity with abundant and mature tannins. The ever-present fruit reminds us of the crispy grape skins and feel of the soil. Violets and subtle vegetal hints embellish the red fruit aromas captured at their peak ripeness. All this, topped off with a saline and flavoursome finish.

Winemaking
The wine is aged in used wood barrels which are often very large. Local yeasts and a minimal addition of sulphites just before bottling, also help to understand how the non-intervention process produces a wine which is truly special.

Vineyards
The winery defines the wine as 100% fermented grape juice using artisanal methods. Its Tempranillo grapes are grown at 900 metres above sea level in chalky-clay soils in the town of La Aguilera in Burgos. The 50-year-old vines are bush-trained and not irrigated so as to obtain a much more concentrated fruit. Grapes are hand-collected on different days to ensure each grape is perfectly ripe.
