Unusual Ribera del Duero single varietal from some very old Bobal vines found amongst the area’s predominant Tempranillo. Native to the Utiel-Requena region in Valencia, Bobal is a rustic and quite underrated variety known for its big compact bunches and high yield, traditionally used for bulk wine production. In Ribera del Duero, where it is known as Valenciana, it was traditionally used to add color and structure to blends, but rarely vinified on its own. Taking its name from the local expression “Alma de Cántaro” (loosely translated to fool, naïve) represents Magna Vides’ heroic attempt to reclaim Ribera del Duero’s lesser-known and disappearing varieties. Fragrant. Herbal, balsamic notes. Somewhat citric, acidic finish. — 6 years ago

A very rare single varietal Albillo, indigenous and often snubbed variety from Ribera del Duero generally reserved for local rosés (claretes). Intense and nutty nose, hints of wood, herbs and lemon. Dry, somewhat salty and mineral, smooth and creamy, nice finish — 6 years ago

Tip top quality. Dark and dirty tones on the nose lead to an eyeopening showcase of depth of flavor carried with such grace and softness. Pure artistry and craftmanship. Homerun, slamdunk, hole in one. — 11 years ago

Magna Vides’ entry level wine, a very fresh and unusual blend for Ribera del Duero (95% Tempranillo and 5% Garnacha), sourced primarily from the winery’s youngest vineyards. Beautiful, fragrant nose. Lots of red fruit. Subtle herbal notes (mint, licorice, typical in La Aguilera). Fresh, velvety — 6 years ago
