Pago Del Cielo ‘Celeste’ Tempranillo 2017- Wonderful Potential.

This has all the makings of a sensational wine, wonderful drinking now, with only 4 years under its belt. Its not only the aging potential (5 – 10 years) but it’s the long-term potential of this wine in the coming vintages to develop into something special. This is definitely one to keep a close eye on!

OK, back to the 2017, rich enticing nose of cherries, blueberries, floral and pepper notes deliver an invitation to sip and enjoy, and enjoy you will. Made from 100% Tempranillo from vineyards situated in the Ribera del Duero region at 900 meters (almost 3,000 feet). The palate is full bodied, bright and approachable with layers of cherries, blueberries, mocha, vanilla with just a hint of gamey smokiness. Nice long finish leaving you with a desire to enjoy another sip. Pair with barbeque and hearty red meat dishes. Cellar out to 2027.
