Epifanio Ribera Del Duero - Item Code: 04154
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Epifanio Ribera Del Duero opens with a bold, velvety mouthfeel that makes it an excellent choice for special dinners or cozy evenings. With an ABV of 14.5%, this Spanish red is crafted in the heart of Ribera del Duero using hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes, known locally as Tinto Fino. The wine benefits from careful aging in oak barrels, which adds complexity and structure while preserving the vibrant character typical of its origin.
On the palate, Epifanio reveals layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of licorice and spice. Gentle tannins and a touch of vanilla from oak aging create a harmonious balance that stands up beautifully to roasted lamb or aged Manchego cheese. The wine’s depth enhances savory flavors while its lively acidity refreshes the palate between bites, making each pairing memorable and satisfying.
Producer Information: Bodegas Epifanio Rivera
Bodegas Epifanio Rivera is based in Pesquera de Duero, a village in the heart of Spain’s Ribera del Duero wine region. The winery traces its origins to the early twentieth century, when the Rivera family began cultivating vineyards on their estate. Over generations, they have maintained a strong commitment to traditional viticulture while integrating modern winemaking techniques. Their production approach emphasizes low yields from old vines, manual harvesting, and careful selection of grapes to ensure high-quality wines that express the unique terroir of their land.
Beyond their flagship Tempranillo wines, Bodegas Epifanio Rivera produces limited quantities of other varietals such as Albillo Mayor and Garnacha. The winery has also experimented with small-batch rosé and white wines that highlight local grape diversity. In addition to still wines, they offer artisanal vermouth crafted from estate-grown grapes infused with native botanicals. This broader portfolio reflects a dedication to both heritage and innovation within Spanish wine culture, appealing to enthusiasts seeking authentic expressions from Ribera del Duero’s diverse landscape.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
