Bendito Destino Field Blend 2023
D.O RIBERA DEL DUERO
garnacha Albillo Mayor tempranillo Bobal
Description
Bendito Destino Field Blend is a jewel from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, born from centenarian vineyards (80-100 years old) in Canalejas de Peñafiel at an altitude of 925 meters. Created by the prestigious sommelier Terry Kandylis and Guillermo Cruz, this red wine breaks the mold through a traditional co-fermentation of red and white varieties (Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, Albillo Mayor, Pirulés, and Alarije).
Aged for 14 months in 500-liter François Frères barrels, it stands out for its Burgundian profile, exceptional freshness, and a very limited production of only 3,800 bottles. A cult wine for collectors seeking the ultimate expression of terroir and elegance in Ribera del Duero.
Tasting Note Field Blend
Bright ruby red color of medium-high depth.
On the nose, it deploys complex aromas of wild red fruits, violets, aromatic herbs, mineral notes, and subtle spices from noble wood.
In the mouth, it is fluid, elegant, with a vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a long, persistent finish.
