How does Ribera del Duero differ from Rioja?

Ribera wines are often darker, fuller and more structured than Rioja – and typically have shorter oxidation and more French oak. This gives the wines a more modern and concentrated style.

Can Ribera del Duero be aged?

Yes – especially Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva develop nicely over 5–15 years. The simpler Joven wines should be drunk young.
