Aroma & Taste

In the aroma, Silvanus Edicion Limitada Reserva 2020 opens with intense notes of ripe black cherries, blackcurrants, and blackberries. The fruit is accompanied by layers of balsamic nuances, forest floor, dried herbs, and a hint of fennel and rosemary. The barrel aging adds elegant notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, cedar, coffee, and discreet tobacco. The taste is full-bodied and concentrated with great depth and an impressive balance between ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and firm tannins. The wine continuously develops in the glass and finishes with a long, persistent aftertaste with notes of cocoa, spices, and toasted oak. A powerful, yet refined Ribera del Duero.

History & Production

The wine is made from 100% Tempranillo from vines over 80 years old, located in high-altitude vineyards in Ribera del Duero. Vineyards with calcareous clay soil, sand, and gravel yield small, concentrated grapes with great intensity and natural freshness. The grapes are harvested manually and carefully sorted both in the vineyard and at the winery to use only the best material. Fermentation takes place in small steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve the purity and character of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 15 months in French oak barrels, where it develops structure, complexity, and elegance. It is then further refined through bottle aging before release.

What does it pair with?

Silvanus Edicion Limitada Reserva 2020 is created for powerful dishes and cozy dinners where the wine can be the centerpiece of the table. It pairs excellently with grilled beef, braised stews, leg of lamb, game, and classic roasts with rich sauces. Its deep aromas and distinct structure also make it ideal for mature cheeses and dishes with mushrooms or warm spices. The wine is particularly well-suited for autumn and winter, but works all year round for grand gastronomic experiences. It is also an ideal wine for long dinners with good friends, cozy evenings by the fireplace, or as an exclusive gift for the wine enthusiast.
