This exagerated bend\/oxbow is referred to as an oreja or ear shaped. Owner Antonio Vaquero lives and works in Madrid, but hails from Peñafiel, where he has been managing family vineyards. Recently, Antonio and a small group of associates decided to build their own winery, hence Convento de Oreja. \u003cbr\u003eConvento de Oreja does not own winemaking facilities, but supervises the vinification in a modern facility in Peñafiel. Once the wine has been fermented\/macerated, the resulting juice is barrel aged.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvento de Oreja \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vines are 10-15 years old except for a small plot of 40 year old vines. The wines of Convento de Oreja are all 100% Tempranillo. Currently they own 6 hectares (14.82 acres) and manage 12 hectares more. Recently they planted 4 hectares more and all soil types are nutrient poor alluvial soils with a mix of sand and gravel. Deeper down the soil is clay and limestone, good for water retention. For now they make both Joven and Crianza style wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"convento-oreja-ribera-del-duero-crianza-2017","title":"Convento Oreja Ribera del Duero Crianza 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eConvento Oreja Ribera del Duero Crianza is made from 100 percent Tempranillo.

Review: A bouquet of Luxardo cherry, blackberry preserves and lavender wafts from the glass. Surprisingly juicy on entry, this wine has flavors of pomegranate, ripe cherry, orange zest, dried thyme, dark chocolate and violet. Opulent tannins build in volume and then recede into a finish that is filled with bright fruit notes.

On the nose, the wine is elegant and well balanced with black fruits, reminiscent of vanilla and leather. Hints of spices, minerals and coffee. On the palate the wine is also well balanced and pleasant. Round and elegant with a long and pleasing aftertaste. Pairs well with pastas, creams and soups. Likewise, these wines are ideal for more subtle and elaborate first courses, like a rice with lobster.Ideal for grilled red meats and stews and game stews and for the typical roast lamb. Review: Deep garnet to the eye, this wine has a nose of black cherry, cocoa powder and aniseed. A sense of fruit brightness permeates the palate alongside blackberry preserve, orange zest, clove, violet and milk chocolate flavors. Lingering brightness and velvety tannins make for a gorgeous, long-lasting finish. - Mike DeSimoneb- Wine Enthusiast (JuneJuly 2023), 94\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Convento de Oreja","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949131395119,"sku":"449046","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/convento_oreja_ribera_del_duero_memoria_hq_bottle_90ae31c8-dd25-43bc-a4ce-3d504abacbb8.jpg?v=1771489700"}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/collections\/wineries-convento-de-oreja.oembed","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
