Palate Profile

Bodegas Portia is Grupo Faustino’s most recent winery project and is the seventh winery in the group. Located in the heart of Ribera del Duero, the Portiawinery is a  display of modern design, winemaking function, and artistic detail. Portia offers very small production wines; intense, energetic, and balanced.

Designed by renowned British architect, Sir Norman Foster, the winery project is the perfect link between winemaking, the environment and haute architecture. Built in concrete, wood, steel and glass, its 12,500 square meters are spread over three floors in the form of a star whose three points correspond to the different areas of vinification, fermentation and ageing.

Portia Prima La Encina 2018 is clean, bright, intense cherry red colour developing to ruby. Complex, warm. Vanilla and black fruits notes,cocoa on the background. Tasty, structured and very balanced. Very long finish in barrel aging hints and black fruits.

Critic Awards

A warm balsamic essence along with dark plum and berry scents push the nose on this Tinto Fino. Scrubbing tannins are out front on a healthy palate, while this pops with dark berry flavors and toasty oak. A steady finish shows power and youthful energy.

A tight, fruity red with plum, chocolate and light vanilla character. Medium body and a firm, silky finish. Shows precision and structure.
