Located in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, the Conde de San Cristobal estate benefits from a privileged terroir where the Duero River winds through high-altitude vineyards. The 2015 vintage was marked by a balanced growing season, allowing the Tinto Fino grapes to reach optimal phenolic maturity while maintaining the signature freshness associated with this prestigious Spanish appellation. The philosophy here is one of respect for tradition married to modern precision. After a meticulous hand-harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging in a selection of French and American oak barrels. This careful élevage polishes the natural vigor of the fruit, resulting in a wine that embodies the elegance and historical prestige of the Castilla y León region.

The intensity of the lamb pairs harmoniously with the toasted cedar and earthy notes inherent to the Ribera del Duero terroir.
The long, braising process complements the wine's depth and structure, elevating the savory characteristics of the meat.
