Pago de los Capellanes 2022 Ribera del Duero Joven, Spain

The relatively new Pago de los Capellanes winery is located in the heart of the Ribera del Duero wine region in the high plateau Castilla y Leon province.  The names translates to ‘Land of the Chaplains’ because in the 14^th century the land where the winery Is located was mostly owned by the church as the locals donated land to the church as a thank you for their religious services.  Their Joven or young 100% Tempranillo wine is medium bodied with ripe berry and cherry fruit with the nose delivering beautiful aromas of violets and licorice.  This is a robust, easy drinking and satisfying wine sure to please any crowd.
