This is the bottle at the top of the Figuero family’s range, and it comes with a story I love telling. It’s named after Milagros Figuero, the grandmother of the family, and was created by her husband José María as a tribute to her. Presented in its own box, it makes one of the most thoughtful gifts on our shelves, for an anniversary, a birthday or anyone who appreciates serious Ribera del Duero.
The grapes are 100% Tempranillo from old vines, many over 60 years of age, spread across around twenty small plots near La Horra, in the heart of Ribera’s Burgos side. Everything is picked by hand. The wine then spends well over a year in large 500-litre French oak barrels, which let the fruit breathe without being swamped by wood, and the winery holds it back in bottle before release so it’s already starting to show its best when it reaches us.
In the glass it’s a deep, dark cherry colour. The nose is full of ripe blackberries, dried herbs, dark chocolate and a little sweet tobacco and fig. The palate is big and generous, with plenty of fruit and firm tannins that will soften beautifully over the next few years. You can open it now with a good decant, or tuck it away for a special occasion.
Made for a roast leg of lamb or suckling pig, the way they do it in Castilla, but just as good with a rib-eye off the grill, game stews or a well-aged Manchego.
