Hernando y Sourdais, D.O. Ribera del Duero
'Antidoto' is the first release of a new venture, Hernando y Sourdais, headed up by winemaker Bertrand Sourdais. Bertrand has for a number of years been a noted winemaker in Ribera del Duero, having been responsible for Dominio de Atuata. Hernando y Sourdais is based in the little-known eastern sector of Ribera del Duero, which is dry, cold and very remote, known as Soria, a sub-region named after its main town. Bertrand’s project is based in a little village called San Esteban de Gormaz, and is working with pre-phylloxera vines from antique vineyards (2000 years’ heritage) organically grown at up to 1000m above sea level.

Glossy, sweet’n’sour blackberry nose with brambly ‘red tobacco’ over black pepper husk, cranberry and dark rocky earth. Juicy plushness with crunch, minerality and earthy acidity; subtle oak; quality savoury-nutty fruit tannins. Simple, direct and delicious with a lovely finishing note. The first release from a new project. |
