Testimonials

Gérard Basset (World’s best sommelier in 2010)

  • Rudeles Finca la nación 2008: “The wine presents an intense ruby colour with little rim variation.  The nose is packed with ripe blackberry aromas supplemented by a very attractive touch of milk chocolate.   It is a powerful and smooth wine that would match to perfection a prime cut of hung beef such as a rib-eye steak ”
  • Rudeles Original 2011: “Original is an elegant and refined blend from Ribera del Duero. It is ripe and concentrated and shows a good balance and a long aftertaste in the mouth. This attractive tempranillo displays overwhelming red cherries and black berries aromas . A good wine indeed which reveals complex flavours in the mouth”
  • Rudeles 23 2009: “Medium ruby colour with a pinkish rim, it is a very appealing wine on the nose.  I very much like the notes of red plum intermingled with soft spices that dominate on the nose.  The feel of the wine is soft and not heavy.  It would work superbly with a calf’s liver.”

Eric Duret (Best sommelier in Europe 1998)

  • Rudeles Finca la nación 2006: “ A fine selection of the best and oldest vineyards (an average of 90 to 100 year old). Wonderfully aromatic, full of richness, this blend is mainly composed by tempranillo with a touch of grenache”
  • Cepas Jóvenes 2009: “ Created from young vines, without oak, this wine displays an irresistible and superb fruit”.
