The Reserva grows on iron-rich clay, and according to the bodega it is exactly these soils that give more body and structure. Black plum and heart cherry on the nose, with undergrowth and balsamic, and spice, cocoa and tobacco leaf from the barrel. Creamy and velvety on the palate, with lively tannins and a very long finish.

The bodega gives 16 °C as the serving temperature and suggests red meat, duck with a fruity garnish, charcuterie and aged or blue cheese. Of the Raíz de Guzmán reds, this is our pick for a Sunday roast.

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.
