Trus Punto Geodésico 2021 – Ribera del Duero Red Wine

Trus Punto Geodésico 2021 stands as one of the most compelling expressions of Ribera del Duero's high-altitude potential, earning 94 points from the prestigious Guía Peñín. Crafted entirely from Tinta Fina del País — the local clone of Tempranillo — this terroir-driven red wine originates from single vineyards planted at over 800 metres above sea level in Piñel de Abajo, where dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, mineral-rich soils and a south-southwest exposure combine to deliver grapes of remarkable concentration and freshness.

The name Punto Geodésico — Spanish for 'geodesic point' — pays tribute to the precise geographical coordinates of the source vineyard, a concept that aligns perfectly with Bodegas Trus's founding philosophy: to craft wines that are the authentic reflection of a specific place. Fermentation takes place in large 25,000-litre French oak vats, allowing the fruit to express itself freely before the wine moves into 225 and 300-litre barrels for a carefully managed oak-aged maturation that builds complexity without overwhelming the varietal character.

In the glass, Punto Geodésico 2021 reveals a deep, vivid ruby-crimson colour of medium-high intensity. The bouquet is refined and multi-layered: ripe red cherry, raspberry and hints of wild strawberry are interwoven with finely judged spice and a subtle mineral lift that speaks clearly of altitude and terroir. On the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and expressive, with a full-bodied structure that remains energised by crisp natural acidity. Structured tannins are impeccably smooth, carrying the wine through a long, persistent finish with a characteristic savoury echo.

This is a food-friendly, age-worthy Ribera del Duero red that pairs beautifully with grilled prime rib, slow-roasted lamb, game stews and aged Manchego or Castilian sheep's milk cheeses. It also excels alongside wild mushroom risotto or braised short ribs.
