2019 was a warm and dry low-yielding year, somewhat similar to 2015, and the 2019 Reserva could be the modern version of the 2015?a round, lush and approachable Reserva that is perfumed and fruit-driven, with spices in the background. It’s a hedonist cuv?e of 95% Tempranillo and 5% other grapes from some of the oldest grapes in the village. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts followed by a slow malolactic in 228-liter French oak barrels, mostly used, where the wine matured for 35 months. It reveals very good integration of the oak that is neatly folded into the wine. It shows the tannic structure of the 2019 vintage. 23,875 bottles and 430 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2022.

DOMINIO DEL ?GUILA is a family winery based in La Aguilera, a small village in RIBERA DEL DUERO, and run by a couple formed by Jorge Monz?n and Isabel Rodero, vigneron and architect respectively. Since 2010 we have joined our efforts to make a dream come true?
The winery is within the ?Consejo Regulador de la Denominaci?n de Origen Ribera del Duero? and within the ?Consejo Ecologico de Castilla y Le?n?, the institution that regulates ORGANIC WINES.
The domain’s greatest asset is the vineyard. we count with 30 hectares of very old vines, mostly in organic farming, apart from 5 additional hectares relatively young (under 50 years). We are grapes suppliers of some of the main wineries in the region since more than 10 vintages.
Our passion is the vineyard! Jorge comes from a family of many generations of vignerons. His studies were based in ?Soil, viticulture and oenology? at the Universities of?Bordeaux and Burgundy. He worked with prestigious wineries such as?Domaine De La Roman?e-Conti?for more than two years. He has also worked in Spain in the?Vega Sicilia Group?for a year and as technical director of?Bodegas Arzuaga-Navarro?for nine years. Since 2013 he works full time in Dominio del ?guila.
Through all those years learning and gaining experience, we were also devoted to the recovering of family vineyards, till we have managed to get together as owners a very high quality vine patrimony, some real Grand Crus? where the ?tempranillo? is the true protagonist, living in a very friendly way with other varieties such as ?blanca del pa?s?, ?bobal?, ?garnacha?, ?albillo?, ?tempranillo gris?, etc.
