Aalto PS 2008 is a robust red blend primarily composed of Tempranillo and sourced from select vineyards in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Aalto was founded in 1999 by former Vega Sicilia enologist Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini, who sought to produce wines that reflect both the terroir and the potential of the region. The 2008 vintage showcases a deep concentration of dark fruit flavours underscored by subtle oak influences from carefully selected barrels. The vineyard practices include low yields to enhance fruit quality, contributing to its structure and ageing potential.
