2017 Dominio Romano RDR: Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero
The 2017 Dominio Romano RDR is an expressive top-tier wine from Ribera del Duero. Dominio Romano is known for its small-scale production and focus on old Tempranillo vines, which produce wines with impressive concentration, finesse, and expression of terroir. The 2017 vintage combines ripe fruit with structure and excellent balance.
The grapes come from carefully selected plots with old vines growing in limestone- and clay-rich soils. After careful aging in French oak barrels, the wine develops great aromatic complexity, velvety-soft tannins, and a long, elegant finish.
Aroma & taste
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, plums, violets, cedar, vanilla, cocoa, espresso, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is powerful and refined, with ripe tannins, a lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at 16–18°C and decant the wine about one hour in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, Iberian pork, game, stews, and aged cheeses.
The story behind the bottle
Dominio Romano is one of the modern, high-quality producers in Ribera del Duero. Thanks to old Tempranillo vines, low yields, and meticulous winemaking, the estate produces wines with great depth, finesse, and a distinct character. The RDR cuvée is an excellent representative of the appellation.
