This wine is considered a "cru" of Ribera del Duero as it is made from a single vineyard based in Sotillo de la Ribera.

Majuelos is an old Castillan word for old vines grown on poor soils.

It is made100% with the grape Tinta Fina, more commonly know as Tempranillo.

It is a serious wine with really high complexity and high potential of ageing. 

It is a full bodied wine. There is notes of leathers and smokes. The fruits are ripe and warm with predominance of plum, black cherry and a hint of dried figues. Tannins are firms but very well balanced with the high fruits intensity of the wine. 

The finish is long with a good acidity which make the wine vibrant .
