Martin Berdugo Barrica 2023 500 ml

Fifteen years ago, Josefina Martín Berdugo and her son Antonio began their adventure in the world of wine with a 10-hectare vineyard planted on a terrace at the confluence of the Duero and Arandilla rivers, in Aranda de Duero. The alluvial soil and abundant boulders were so poor that any other cultivation was unviable. After the vineyard and the sale of grapes to other wineries, not without much sacrifice and enthusiasm since the project is 100% family-run, they decided to take the next step: winemaking. They wanted to make a place for themselves in the thriving wine offering of Ribera del Duero and decided to offer modern, fruitier and more elegant wines; which would try to add something new to the increasingly curious group of wine lovers. A wine to enjoy and reach a restless public that is sensitive to details. The mainstay of the project is the fruit and that is evident. Despite having young vines, pruning and other meticulous practices carried out throughout the vine cycle ensure optimal phenolic ripening. The harvest, which is carried out by hand, allows the fruit to be selected from the field. The winemaking process seeks to express the character of the vineyard in the most natural way possible: using native yeasts (through a starter culture prepared with grapes from a select area of ??the vineyard and its subsequent sowing) and extracting the essence of the fruit through meticulous control of fermentation temperatures and abundant pumping over. The filtering prior to bottling is very shallow.
