I love this wine for what it represents: old, almost-forgotten vines in the high, wild Soria end of Ribera del Duero, brought back to life by the brilliant Bertrand Sourdais. “La Hormiga” — the ant — is named for the plot it comes from, and like the ant, it’s all about patient, quiet, serious work.
The fruit grows at 950 metres on a single vineyard planted back in 1922, on red clay over limestone bedrock. That altitude and chalk give the wine its backbone — real freshness and a mineral grip you don’t always find in the Ribera. It’s pure Tinto Fino, macerated long and slow, then aged fourteen months in French oak. The warm 2022 season has made it generous and velvety, but it never loses its poise.
In the glass it’s deep cherry-red, with blackberry, plum, liquorice, violets and a touch of dark chocolate and spice. The tannins are ripe and round, the finish fresh and chalky — a classic that’s built to age.
Give it a proper meal: roast lamb, grilled red meats, a rich game stew, or strong cured cheeses. If you can, lay a bottle or two down for a few years.
