Nose
Fresh red cherry, blackcurrant and ripe plum with hints of liquorice, dried herbs and a characteristic stony, granite-tinged minerality from the Arribes terroir.
Palate
Polished and supple on the palate with well-integrated tannins, lively natural acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused, and layers of red fruit, gentle spice and a subtle vanilla note from French oak ageing.
Finish
Long and lingering, with persistent echoes of red fruit, mineral nuance and a delicate spicy thread that extends gracefully through the finish.
Tierra Prometida 2023 is a compelling terroir-driven red wine from the DO Arribes, a strikingly beautiful appellation carved into the granite canyon landscapes of western Spain along the upper Douro. Crafted by the Franco-Spanish duo of Antony Terryn and José Manuel Beneitez, this is a labour of love rooted in old family vineyards and an unwavering belief in Arribes' exceptional potential.
The blend brings together four varieties: Bruñal and Juan García — rare indigenous grapes almost exclusive to this corner of Spain — alongside Grenache and Syrah. The vines grow at 750 metres above sea level in poor, sandy granite soils threaded with quartz, yielding small, intensely flavoured clusters. Production is rigorously limited to three bunches per vine, ensuring concentration without sacrificing the freshness and finesse that define the winery's philosophy. After fermentation, the wine is aged for ten months in previously used French oak barrels of 225 and 500 litres, allowing the wood to integrate seamlessly without overshadowing the wine's native character.
On the nose, Tierra Prometida 2023 opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherry, blackcurrant and ripe plum, lifted by a subtle mineral thread and delicate hints of spice — think liquorice, dried herbs and a whisper of smoky granite. The mouthfeel is polished and supple, with well-integrated tannins, a lively natural acidity that keeps everything focused and bright, and mid-palate depth that speaks to the vine age and the terroir. A touch of vanilla and gentle toasty oak frames the fruit without dominating it. The finish is long and persistent, with mineral and red-fruit echoes that linger pleasantly.

The Winery
Tierra Prometida is a remarkable wine project born from the collaboration between two passionate and complementary figures: Antony Terryn, founder of Dominio del Bendito in Toro in 2004 and an avid seeker of extraordinary vineyards, and José Manuel, a forestry engineer who in 2011 returned to university to complete a Master's degree in Oenology in La Rioja. Their meeting gave rise to a joint venture with El Hato y el Garabato, aimed at revealing the true potential of the Arribes Denominación de Origen, one of the most singular and authentic wine regions on the Iberian Peninsula. The estate is located in the upper part of the Duero canyon, at an altitude of 750 metres above sea level, on very poor granitic sandy soils with quartz inclusions. This demanding environment, combined with a climate slightly milder than that of the Castilian plateau, provides ideal conditions for producing wines of great character and expressiveness. Production is deliberately limited: a maximum of three bunches per vine is permitted, guaranteeing exceptional concentration and quality in every bottle. The leading varieties are the indigenous Bruñal and Juan García, complemented by Garnacha and small contributions of Syrah, a variety that adds freshness and an international touch. The harvest is entirely manual, with rigorous bunch selection carried out in the vineyard. After fermentation, the wines are aged for ten months in used French oak barrels of 225 and 500 litres, allowing a gradual evolution without masking the identity of the terroir. The philosophy of Tierra Prometida can be summed up as embracing tradition while remaining open to innovation: respecting the viticultural legacy of Arribes while incorporating external techniques and perspectives that enrich the final result. The wines stand out for their elegance, aromatic complexity, and a genuinely Atlantic-granitic character that sets them apart within the Spanish wine landscape.
