Barco de Piedra comes from two plots north of the Duero between the towns of Pesquera del Duero and Valbuena. These vineyards range from 750m to 830m approximately 1000m north of the Duero and primarily south-facing.  Within the Finca el Quiñon estate there are several plots, two of which are used to produce Barco- a 2ha plot called Pago del Jaro (diverse mixture of Sand and clay soils), and a 40h plot called Pago de le Piedra (a highly eroded slope of limestone at the top, covered with river rock, and clay at the bottom).

Barco de Piedra 2008 Tempranillo
Rating: 90

The 2008 Barco de Piedra is 100% Tempranillo aged for 5 months in French and American oak. A glass-staining opaque purple, it offers up an enticing bouquet cedar, spice box, violets, cassis, and black cherry. This is followed by a rich, flavorful, firm wine that will evolve for 1-2 years. This lengthy bargain will drink well through 2015. It is what over-delivering is all about.
