Quinta Milu Ribera Del Duero

Germán R. Blanco's operation in the small town of La Aguilera is a "micro winery". He eschews modern winemaking techniques and international varieties working with old Tempranillo vines. He makes "vinos de pueblo", blended wines from different vineyards from villages in the area, as well as vinos de parcela, sourced from single-vineyards, and parcel-specific. There is no new oak in the winery, Germán uses concrete, amphorae, and old barrels. Quinta Milú is named for Germán's son Lucas whom they lovingly refer to as "Mi Lu" or Milú. 100% Tempranillo from vines which average 50 years of age. All of the fruit is destemmed; the wine is aged a minimum of six months in old French or American oak casks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered and without cold stabilization. Germán calls this— his flagship wine— a “vino de pueblo”, which he translates as “a wine for every day and for everyone.”
