2024QuintaMilu,RiberadelDuero,Spain

<p>Quinta Milú is young winemaker Germán R. Blanco’s tiny operation in the small town of La Aguilera, in the province of Burgos. Blanco calls his estate a “micro winery” and eschews modern winemaking techniques and international varieties. From old Tempranillo vines, he makes wines aged in different types and sizes of casks and barrels. Unlike 99% of other wineries in Ribera del Duero, no two vintages of Milu are the same.</p><p>Quinta Milu is named for Germán’s adorable baby boy, Lucas , whom they lovingly refer to as “Mi Lu” or Milú. </p><p>100% Tempranillo from vines that average fifty years of age. All of the fruit is destemmed; the wine is aged a minimum of six months in old French or American oak casks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered and without cold stabilization. Germán calls this— his flagship wine— a “vino de pueblo”, which he translates as “a wine for every day and for everyone.</p>
