Alonso del Yerro makes beautiful wines with vineyards in the Ribera del Duero and the Toro. The Alonso del Yerro Paydos is a beautiful wine from the Toro. The wine was not made in 2012 and the 2013 vintage was a cooler vintage and that benefits the wine immensely. The wine is made from 100% Tempranillo from a 9 hectare 80 year old vineyard in the village of Morales de Toro. The Paydos is a clear and exciting powerful wine. After the wine has been given some oxygen, we smell the smoked oak, nuts, cocoa and tobacco and then taste the very ripe taste, with jammy blueberries. Long finish with again tobacco impressions and powerful tannins. A super Toro and great accompaniment to fur game or meat dishes with a hearty sauce.
Is there a better wedding present, when two wine geeks get married, than a wine estate? Probably not! This is how the Viñedos Alonso del Yerro was created in 2002 after the marriage of Javier Alonso and Maria del Yerro. From the beginning production was done at the highest level.
As an oenological support, they brought in Stephane Derenoncourt, the renowned Bordeaux wine celebrity, who has already led renowned wine estates such as La Mondotte and Château Canon La Gaffelière to the world top. Completely in the expert's mind, work is carried out with great care. The ripeness of the grapes is checked weekly plot by plot, so that the time for harvesting is optimally chosen. In the manual harvest, small boxes of 12 kilograms are used, so that the grapes arrive in the cellar undamaged. Then the juice is extracted from the grapes by gravity. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation and further education in new French oak barrels. Concrete also goes without saying. The result are wines, which are among the best and most loved of the DO Ribera del Duero.
