On the palate there is a lot of upfront, fresh juiciness. You'll find wines like this far too rarely in Ribera del Duero, where much is ranked directly at Reserva level. Here you have an unadulterated dark berry fruit and a little strawberry compote with some residual yeast, further a fresh infusion of blood oranges, plus herbs and stone. The El Primer Beso has silky tannins, fresh acidity and relies - it should be repeated again - on the dark berry of the Tempranillo.

The El Primer Beso comes from the most recent plantings from the Pago de Valdemonjas vineyard. The Tempranillo grapes were harvested in the early morning hours, destemmed, spontaneously fermented and aged in cement for over four months.
