Alfredo Maestro Collection
Try the entire Alfredo Maestro Collection and experience the premium quality of Ribera del Duero. Included in the collection:
El Marciano: a cuvée of Garnacha that is earthy with dark berries. It's a made match in heaven with charcuterie boards.
Viña Almate Tinto: Tempranillo that sees 4 months in old oak barrels which softens and ripens the wine to make it a smooth-sipper.
El Rey del Glam Garnacha: get ready for a nice spicy kick from this one that's meant to be drunk asap with grilled foods.
Lovamor: sees 6 days of skin contact from the Albillo Mayor white grape, very uncommon with great texture and minerality. Try it with a traditional paella.
Save when you try them all!

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.
