Notes | "Sotillo de la Ribera is a small village of 600 inhabitants on the northern edge of Ribera del Duero. Dating back to the Middle Ages, many of the buildings in Sotillo date to the 18th century when grape growing and winemaking brought prosperity to the village. Eric Solomon has recently partnered with Rafael de Haan to make Creta from 30-50 year old vines of Tempranillo grown in clay loam and chalky soils surrounding Sotillo. (Winemaker's Notes) | |||
