2020 Goyo Garcia Georgieva Clarete, Ribera del Duero, Spain

 From Ribera, this is an outstanding 'Clarete,' pressed from lagars into barrel, in an overnight pressing. It's an old fashioned style, and yields lovely bite, grip and freshness to the dark, earthy fruit profile of Tempranillo. This is not a mix of white and red grapes, like many Claretes are, but apparently the definition of a Clarete isn't fixed from region to region. This one is all Tempranillo from the Quemados vineyard, but an acid driven little cousin to the fully macerated red that Viadeo also produces.
