In this 100% Tempranillo, we find all the expression of local wines, with a semi-ageing of 6 months in French and American oak wood that gives it the necessary roundness to appreciate the fruit and freshness of the Ribera del Duero. Luz Millar [lews-me-YAR] means 1,000 Lights representing the stars lighting up the sky along the Golden Mile. The wine is excellent and versatile. Perfect by the glass and a wonderful party selection. Pairs well with all types of meat on the grill, pastas, sauces that are tomato or cream based, green peppers and onions. Tapas of all kinds.
