2021 Torres Seleccion Celeste Ribera de Duero, Castilla y Leon

Torres Selección Celeste Ribera del Duero from Castilla y León is an expressive and bold Tempranillo, crafted by the renowned Familia Torres winery, one of Spain’s most respected and historic wine producers. Celeste was inspired by the high-altitude vineyards Torres maintains in the Ribera del Duero region, where the elevation and cooler temperatures allow Tempranillo to ripen slowly, developing concentrated flavors while retaining fresh acidity.

On the nose, Selección Celeste reveals aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and black cherry, layered with notes of tobacco, vanilla, and a touch of smoky earth. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing flavors of dark fruits, dark chocolate, and spices like black pepper and cloves. Structured tannins and a balanced acidity give the wine depth and a refined elegance, while a long finish leaves hints of cedar and mineral undertones.

Ideal for pairing with roasted lamb, grilled meats, hearty stews, and Manchego cheese, this Ribera del Duero wine is versatile and food-friendly. With its bold character and layers of flavor, it’s an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions.
