De Bardos Ars Romantica 2018/ 2019

Penin 88/100 (2008)

THE ROOTS OF A LEGEND

De Bardos is an ambitious project which is buried in the history and the best quality, most original vineyards of the Ribera del Duero. A journey through the culture of a land of great wines in which, through the use of traditional methods, a collection of wines has been created which has become the benchmark in Spanish “Signature” Wines.

Wines with their own voice

In the same way that the bards told tales of legendary battles, each of the wines in the collection has a different tale to tell. While the zones taken a s a whole provide common values to the De Bardos collection, in each of the wines you can detect the preponderance of a particular zone, which transmits particular characteristics, as well as a very clear-cut personality. Ars Romántica denotes sweetness and smoothness. Ars Épica stands out for its freshness and elegance. Ars Mítica is a wine with great structure and complexity. And Ars Suprema is outstanding in its powerfulness, which all goes to make for a very original, unique work of art.

Legendary Zones of the Ribera del Duero

The Ribera del Duero has proved itself to be one of the leading winemaking regions over the last few years, and a benchmark on the national and international scene. This is a result of the high average quality of the wines of the region and, especially, the efforts of a few bodegas whose wines have contributed to the ennoblement of the fame of these lands. In making De Bardos wines, all the vineyards selected have something in common: as well as being situated in high zones of the plateau, all the plots are located in towns or villages which are famous for the quality of their vines. Hence, in Fuentemolinos, Quintanilla de Onésimo, Anguix or Moradillo de Roa you can find, undoubtedly, some of the best vineyard sin the whole region.

Excellent Vintages

The bards only immortalized the greatest stories in their songs. In the same way, our bodega only those harvests rated as excellent will be able to convert themselves in wines of our collection. In this way, if despite the careful selection of the vineyards and grapes, the particular vintage does not permit the grapes to achieve the exceptional quality required, some of the wines, or maybe even the whole collection, may not be produced.
