Producer Quinta Milú
A project born of the belief that one village in Ribera del Duero produces fruit of remarkable quality.
The man behind Quinta Milú, German Blanco, worked with one of the big name producers of Ribera each vintage. As German sorted and graded fruit from various growers, the grapes from La Aguilera stood out. Acid levels were higher, tannin ripeness achieved at slightly lower potential alcohol levels: things that German liked were occurring again and again in the fruit from this one town.
Quinta Milú is German’s personal project, born from his desire to make single site and single village wines from these grapes, preventing them from being lost in regional blends.
Today, German makes several single site wines from old bush vines dotted around the town, as well as two exceptionally good value ‘village’ wines in La Aguilera.
