Spain’s wine region Ribera del Duero was until the late 1980’s barely known in the UK and has now become recognised as a source of truly outstanding wines with magnificent hidden treasures and rivals Rioja as Spain's premier wine region. The region is centred on the town of Aranda de Duero, although the most famous vineyards surround Peñafiel and Roa de Duero to the west, where the regional regulatory council or Consejo Regulador for the denominación is based. Ribera is dedicated almost entirely to the production of red wine from the Tempranillo grape. A Ribera red wine created from Tempranillo is concentrated, full-bodied and fruit-driven in style and tends to be an extremely well-aging wine.
