As part of its new line "Vinos de Autor" together with the Salgüero Merlot and Sauvignon, Bodegas Real Sitio de Ventosilla could not overlook one of the most emblematic varieties of Spain, as is the Tempranillo grape, and in this way complete its prestigious selection of single variety wines. A strong wine with a smooth tannin, giving a sensation of fruit that persists through time. If we also consider that its birthplace is on the banks of the Duero river, we can be sure that it is a wine that is in line with the Salgüero range and fulfil the initial objective of paying due homage and honour to this grape, which is so ours, and which can rarely be found at the peak of its splendour.

A major wine in itself, opaque, with tones of black cherry red, ripe aromas with hints of red fruits and minerals, elegant, with an offer of all qualities in the mouth, as you may see for yourself.
