Wine Enthusiast

This garnet-colored wine has a nose of dark berries, butterscotch and a touch of crumbled sage. It fills the palate with cherry, Mission fig, mocha, clove and thyme flavors wrapped in a web of silky tannins that sail into a smooth finish.

International Wine Challenge

Red fruit, blueberries with stalky spice and vanilla pleasant aromatics with good intensity and firm grip.

La Vanguardia

Working in different high-level restaurants in Barcelona, I am always lucky enough to try many wines. One day this wine arrived and I was dazzled. It came from a small producer who in the 1930s started a family project in the Ribera del Duero, where the definitive push came in the 1980s, with the creation of the Designation of Origin. I'm talking about Mr. Santiago López. Then his son, also Santiago, after a few years as a winegrower, made his own wine, creating what is known today as Bodegas López Cristóbal. The name is the result of the union of two surnames: López, from Santiago, and Cristóbal, from Lola, his wife. Galo López Cristóbal, third generation, was key in the definitive consolidation of the winery, providing a more personal character to the wines.
La Linde is a young, fresh and fruity wine that reflects the character of Ribera del Duero. These virtues have led it to win the Great Baco de Oro, Luis Hidalgo Award, as Best Young Wine in the Baco awards organized by the Spanish Union of Tasters, where I was lucky enough to participate for a few years. Without a doubt, an excellent option for wine lovers looking for new experiences and new flavors. In terms of quality-price ratio, there are very few Riberas like this one. The key is to give maximum prominence to the vineyard, with care in viticulture. If this is their entry-level red wine, imagine their other four red wines.
But, to start, don't forget this name: La Linde!

Frisk og energisk som Tempranillo også kan være. Både med mørke bær, urter, og krydderier. Alt sammen er holdt i et fast greb af en intens syre, der skaber dynamik i vinen. Her får man virkelig noget for sine penge.

Flaskehalsen

López Cristóbal er blandt de legendariske vinhuse i Ribera del Duero, der år efter år imponerer med flagskibet Bagús. Her er vi i en af husets lidt billigere varianter, nemlig La Linde. Det er en vin, der kombinerer Tempranillo-druer med Merlot, og det giver en ret blød og rødfrugtet stil, hvor Merlot-druens karakteristika er ret markante. Det smager rigtig dejligt, men de bløde frugter lægger også en lille dæmper på de krydrede og mest interessante noter.
