The prestigious publication JamesSuckling.com has awarded the highest score in the Denomination of Origin, giving Dominio de Calogรญa Cuvรฉe S 2021 a 95/100.
Under the article title “THE POLISH AND PRECISION OF RIBERA,” the taster and senior editor, Zekun Shuai, states:
While Ribera del Duero is known for its full-bodied, tannic reds, a new wave of producers is championing polish and precision over pure force. A prime example is the opulent yet fresh Dominio de Calogรญa Ribera del Duero S Cuvรฉe 2021, recently tasted by Senior Editor Zekun Shuai.
Launched in 2019 by winemaker Jose Manuel Perez Ovejas, this project sources fruit from a 1.5-hectare plot of 70-year-old vines. The resulting wine is plush yet really restrained, layered and finely structured. The ancient vines in Roa and Pedrosa de Duero demonstrate how precise winemaking and low-yield vineyards can produce wines that are both hedonistic and refined.
The old vines from Roa and Pedrosa de Duero demonstrate how precise winemaking and low-yield vineyards can produce hedonistic and refined wines, thanks to a crafting process that enhances complexity without being overwhelming. The best producers now prioritize refinement and precision, and Dominio de Calogรญa represents this new style in Ribera del Duero.”
We are tremendously proud of this achievement, which affirms the unique character and exceptional quality of Dominio de Calogรญa, consolidating it as one of Spainโs great wines.
Zekun Shuai concludes: โThis project by Josรฉ Manuel Pรฉrez Ovejas is generating great interest.โ
