Lleiroso Crianza 2023 has been awarded 95 points in the latest Ribera del Duero report published by the international magazine Decanter, one of the leading publications in the wine sector.
The report, entitled “Ribera del Duero vintage report: Brilliant wines of all hues”, features a selection of the region’s most outstanding wines following a blind tasting of 342 wines, conducted by Inés Salpico, Decanter’s regional editor, and María José Huertas, a renowned sommelier and wine critic.
The report analyses the evolution and diversity of Ribera del Duero wines released onto the market between July 2025 and July 2026, paying particular attention to the Crianza category, which stands out for its ability to offer wines with character, expressiveness and good value for money.
In her assessment, Huertas highlights the fragrant character of Lleiroso Crianza 2023, with aromas of ripe fruit, such as cherry, blueberry and raspberry, alongside notes of aromatic herbs, sweet spices and floral nuances.
On the palate, they describe it as a juicy, well-balanced wine, with generous fruit accompanied by notes of cocoa and spices. Its long, aromatic finish rounds off the experts’ description.
The 95 points awarded to Lleiroso Crianza 2023 by Decanter come in a particularly significant year for Bodegas Lleiroso, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2026. This recognition coincides with a quarter of a century of hard work and dedication to winemaking in Ribera del Duero.
