Historical records show that the Martín Berdugo family’s south-facing estate on the banks of the River Duero has been dedicated to grape cultivation for more than 200 years. The modern chapter began in the late 1980s, when Josefina Martín Berdugo, together with her husband Enrique and their three children—Antonio, Bruno, and Pepa—began new plantings that would define the estate. In its early years, the fruit was sold to other wineries, but as the vines matured, their quality revealed remarkable potential. To capture this, a modern winery was built among the vineyards in 2000. Today, under the leadership of Antonio, Martín Berdugo crafts wines that embody the character and individuality of Ribera del Duero’s emblematic Tinto Fino grape.
This wine opens with inviting aromas of warm, fresh red fruit layered alongside subtle black-fruit nuances, accented by hints of lightly spiced toffee and gentle toasted notes from oak ageing. On the palate, it's intense and well-structured, offering a full mouth-feel supported by polished tannins and well-handled acidity. The ripe red fruit character and roasted undertones carry through seamlessly, leading to a clean, persistent finish. Already drinking beautifully, this is already showing excellent potential to continue evolving gracefully for several years if cellared.
Pairs nicely with flavourful rice dishes like paella, hearty pastas such as lasagna, and grilled, roasted, or fried chicken. It also complements aged cheeses exceptionally well.
