Casa Rojo Alexander Vs The Ham Factory 2021 Ribera del Duero DO

Casa Rojo's Alexander Vs The Ham Factory is a Ribera del Duero DO red made solely from Tempranillo, known locally as tinta fina. It comes from vineyards at 900 metres altitude and rests for twenty months in French and American oak barriques, followed by six months in bottle. It is intense ruby red with violet hues. The nose is deep and rich in ripe fruit such as plum, black cherry and strawberry, with cocoa, coffee and toasted notes. The palate is enveloping and well balanced, with good structure and long persistence. It suits meat-based main courses, especially veal stew with potatoes.
