Time to Taste some Angel Wine from Spain

This time we taste a Tempranillo from the Ribera del Duero in Spain. The Pago Del Cielo Celeste Crianza was aged for 12 months in oak and longer in the bottle.  Pago Del Cielo means money from Heaven and this wine seems made by the angels!

Ribera del Duero is located along the Duero (or Douro) River in the Meseta Central or central plateau of Spain. It is home to a 115 km by 35 km strip of vineyard that stretches along the Duero River basin. It is one of the highest vineyards in the northern hemisphere and is well known for high quality grapes.
