Bodegas Epifanio Rivera, founded by the Rivera-Aparicio family, is connected to one of the most deep-rooted wine-growing traditions in Pesquera del Duero. We have always been closely tied to the vine, proof of which lies in our more than 80-year-old vineyards, our ancient underground cellar that dates to the 16th Century, and the winepress known as “La Cocedera”, which has been in use since the 19th Century, producing family wine until today.

Tasting Notes

Erial is made from 100% Tinta Fina. Ageing in barrels, of which 80% are French oak and 20% are American oak, is 10 months. Lively and colourful wine that is open and clear to the nose; with sterling mature blackberries, black liquorice, and mineral reminiscences; with creamy and smoky tones from the oak wood; and a spicy finish. Neatly structured in the mouth, with friendly and well-melted tannin, beefy and concentrated fruit, extremely tasteful, balanced and with a refreshing sensation due to an appropriate acidity.

Tasting Notes

Erial Tradicion Familia Rivera-Aparicio (Erial TF) is aged for 16 months in oak barrels consisting of French oak (85%) and American oak (15%) and is designed with a different selection of grapes than Erial. The source of the grapes are 80 years old vines located in Pesquera de Duero area. It is 100% tempranillo grape variety. The color is deep purple, bright and clean. The nose is very intense with lots of ripe fruits such as plums and figs, balsamic and spice aromas such as eucalyptus, clove, white pepper, and black ink. Very complex and well integrated with the oak. On the palate is concentrated and long. Great balance between fruit, acidity and silky tannins.
