Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The classical red 2020 Alonso del Yerro was produced with grapes from different plots identified after a soil study of their 26 hectares of vines that were planted 38 years ago in the village of Roa. They don't use herbicides, and they do their own compost and use cover crops. The grapes were picked picked between September 22 and 28 and fermented in stainless steel. The wine matured in French oak barrels and stainless steel between nine and 15 months, depending on the lot. It has notes of raw meat, licorice and leather, dark fruit and some earthiness. The palate reveals some rusticity and abundant, earthy tannins. 48,000 bottles and 520 magnums. It was bottled in October 2022.

Description
Alonso del Yerro is an emblematic red wine from Ribera del Duero, a reflection of the dedication and passion of Javier Alonso and María del Yerro, who in 2002 joined their surnames to give life to a family project with soul and character. This wine, made entirely from Tempranillo (100%), is grown on the Santa Marta estate and other outstanding plots at an altitude of over 800 metres, where the diversity of calcareous soils, from red clay to gravelly sand, lends complexity and unique nuances.
Winemaking
The vineyards, which date back to 1989, are worked with a meticulous approach, avoiding herbicides and applying natural composting techniques and cover crops to respect the ecosystem as much as possible. Vinification is careful and slow, with a maceration of between 8 and 15 days to obtain the most subtle tannins, followed by ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels (10% new), guaranteeing elegance and balance.
Taste
Alonso del Yerro seduces with a deep red colour and an intense nose, where notes of ripe red fruits such as plum and blueberry stand out, together with subtle hints of liquorice and spices. On the palate, it is an elegant and rounded wine, with silky tannins that caress the palate, providing structure without losing its fruity character. The finish is persistent, enveloping and with a complexity that evolves notably in the bottle, making it an exceptional choice to accompany juicy meats, cured cheeses and spoon dishes.
