Ausàs Ribera del Duero 2020
Vintage Character
Ausàs Ribera del Duero 2020 is a premium red from the Ribera del Duero DO, crafted from Tempranillo and shaped by Xavier Ausàs’s refined, site-conscious vision. The 2020 vintage is regarded as strong in Ribera del Duero, with a balanced growing season that preserved freshness while allowing full phenolic ripeness, giving the wine both depth and precision. Its character draws on old-vine fruit sourced across the appellation from a mosaic of limestone, clay and sandy soils, a mix that helps explain the wine’s combination of dark-fruited concentration, mineral tension and polished structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this is a Ribera that marries power with finesse. The nose shows ripe blackberry, black plum and blueberry layered with violet, licorice, cedar, cocoa and a subtle balsamic nuance. On the palate it is full-bodied and composed, with fine-grained tannins, vivid acidity and well-judged oak supporting a core of pure, savory fruit; the finish is long, spicy and mineral. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled ibérico pork, or mushroom risotto.
Winery Background
Ausàs Bodegas y Viñedos is the personal project of Xavier Ausàs, the former long-serving technical director of Vega Sicilia and one of Ribera del Duero’s most respected winemaking figures. His philosophy favors elegance, freshness and transparency over sheer extraction, drawing fruit from carefully selected old vineyards rather than relying on a single estate block. Grapes are hand-harvested, vinified with precision, and matured in French oak to polish rather than dominate the fruit. What sets Ausàs apart is this synthesis of elite regional experience and contemporary restraint, producing wines that feel unmistakably Ribera del Duero yet unusually nuanced and poised.
