2019 Ausás Interpretación Ribera del Duero
£59.00
“The perfumed and elegant 2019 Interpretación is powerful and ripe at 15% alcohol, reflecting the warm and dry vintage. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for 15 months in barrels, half of them 500-liter ones and 30% of them new. It’s a serious and structured red with a classical profile and terrific balance, very fine tannins and a silky mouthfeel through very fine chalky tannins. It’s tasty, balanced and long, with stuffing and balance between the components to develop nicely in bottle. This shows the warm year and the hand of a very good winemaker; it is creamy and has good integrated of the oak.”
95 Points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
“Characterful expression of Tinto Fino, with juicy, very pure blue and black fruit sprinkled generously with black and white pepper and a touch of liquorice. Muscular yet elegant tannins, with assertive presence on the mid palate. Although with cherry, pomegranate and plum at the core, there’s an intensely zesty grip – blood orange and bergamot drive the wine through to its long finish.”
95 Points, Ines Salpico, Decanter

Product Description
Xavier Ausás started his own personal project in Ribera del Duero in 2016 after he left Vega Sicilia. He works old and head-pruned vines in Nava de Roa, Moradillo de Roa, Gumiel del Mercado and Pesquera de Duero.
Ausàs Interpretación is a deep cherry-coloured red wine. On the nose, it stands out for its fruity aromas of sour cherries and blackberries, complemented by notes of dried flowers and a balsamic hint of thyme. On the palate, its entry is tense and juicy, leading to a compact and concentrated sensation. A subtly mature wine that offers a rich and balanced experience.
