Cherry and raspberry up front, with violet and toast from nine months in barrique behind them, plus brioche, cocoa and caramel. The 2023 vintage feels fresh, with clear fruit, liquorice and a hint of coffee; the tannins are ripe and well integrated.

This is the most affordable way into Raíz de Guzmán and the wine we would open without much planning: with grilled lamb, red meat or game. Serve at 14 to 16 °C.

Still unsure?

What does Raíz de Guzmán have to do with cheese?

The bodega was founded in 1998 as the continuation of a project that began in 1985 with the Páramo de Guzmán cheeses. It is in Roa de Duero in the province of Burgos, right in the D.O. Ribera del Duero. The owner is Cayetana Santos, and the wines are made by oenologist Mapi Melado. The bodega also has a tunnel almost a kilometre long.
