2018 Vivaltus, Ribera del Duero, Spain

Vivaltus is a new Yllera family project with a long winemaking history in Spain’s Ribera del Duero region. Recently, the team brought in legendary consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet, best known for his 44 vintages making the wine at Petrus in Pomerol, Bordeaux.

In the last 30 years, Ribera del Duero has risen up to challenge Rioja for the crown of Spain's greatest wine region. Once known only as the home of Vega Sicilia, it now boasts numerous bodegas of outstanding quality, from Hacienda Monasterio to Cillar de Silos. The region was granted its DO status in 1982, and today has over 200 wineries and more than 20,000 hectares of vines.
