The Yllera family has a long history of winemaking in Ribera del Duero. For their latest project, Vivaltus, they have hired consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet who was the winemaker at legendary Chateau Petrus in Pomerol for 40 years. The wine is already turning heads and noted to "soon be an important name in Ribera del Duero" by Luis Gutiérrez of The Wine Advocate. Vivaltus is produced from some of the highest vineyards (1000m above sea level) and oldest vines (80-100+ years) in Ribera de Duero.
Tim Atkin - 98 points
Produced without Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time, it's the polar opposite of the big, ripe, overwooded styles of Ribera. Nuanced, refined and hauntingly balanced, with perfumed oak, lovely texture and balance, leafy, graphite-like complexity and the length of a world-class wine.
