NATURAL SPAIN

“The history of winemaking of Torremilanos dates back to 1903 but it was when the Peñalba Lopez family acquired it in 1975 that the path for this wonderful winery truly begins. Their commitment to the land, climate, and the health of the community set them on the course of organically and biodynamically farming the vineyard. 2018 Finca Torremilanos El Porron de Lara Tinto, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León for me this is what a ‘natural’ wine should be, picked relatively early so the alcohol is naturally low, it's unfiltered and with no sulfur added. The wine itself really shines through with its expressive fresh fruit flavors, a touch of earth and dusty tannins. It's a thoroughly delicious red at an exceptional price!” Jim Knight, The Wine House

2018 Finca Torremilanos El Porron de Lara Tinto, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León
91 Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
$16.99
91 Points: “The irreverent red 2018 El Porrón de Lara was disqualified by the Ribera del Duero appellation and is sold as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León because they said they picked some green grapes! The wine is 13.2% alcohol, produced with Tempranillo from their organic and biodynamic vineyards picked at two different times, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in concrete and barrel for 15 months. It has a "natural" profile, bottled unfiltered, unclarified and with no added sulfur. It has a characterful and expressive nose, young and fresh, fluid and dry, with chalky tannins and a supple and very tasty finish. Drink Dates 2021 – 2024.” – Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (June 2021)

Certified Biodynamic [Demeter]

Founded in 1903, the 200-hectare Finca Torremilanos in Aranda de Duero is the second-oldest wine-producing estate in what is now Ribera del Duero DO (after Vega Sicilia). The current regime dates to the late 70s and was instrumental in the establishment of the DO in 1982. Pilar Pérez Albéniz, one of the most respected women in the region and winner of the inaugural ‘Ribera Heritage’ Award in 2019, is still at the helm, with two of her sons, Ricardo and Vicente, handling winemaking and sales respectively. The first-ever Demeter-certified biodynamic winery in the appellation, as of 2015. A family-run gem that marches to the beat of its own drummer in producing both traditionally-styled and experimental wines.
