Ribera del Duero (RDD) Wines Showcase Terroir-Driven Complexity in Hong Kong Just in Time for Festive Gifting and Enjoyment

(30 October 2025, Hong Kong) The alluring wines of Ribera del Duero (RDD) in central Spain, consistently hailed as one of the world’s top appellations, are regularly on the lips of Hong Kong connoisseurs, who cherish their vibrancy coaxed by passionate winemakers from exceptional grapes thriving in harsh yet beautiful land. In a celebration of the region’s terroir-driven complexity, selected premium pours – many imported directly from the wineries and making their Hong Kong debut – will be available at Mato Coffee Wine and La Paloma from 1 November to 31 December 2025, crowning joyous food and wine festivities leading to Christmas and New Year.

Ribera del Duero (RDD) is renowned for outstanding aged red wines crafted predominantly from the Tempranillo grape that reveal layered aromas, power and balance on the palate – ideal for special occasions or prestige gifting – as well as young fruit-forward reds of structure and finesse perfect for everyday drinking. Young, fresh and fruity white wines from the local Albillo Mayor grape boasting good acidity from ageing both in the barrel and the bottle, and refreshing rosés round out the region’s appeal. There is an RDD to stir the emotions of every wine lover this festive season.

Every bottle of RDD – voted the best wine-producing region in the world by Wine Enthusiast magazine in 2012 – is unique, unforgettable and authentic. Their quality and genuineness are assured by the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin Regulatory Council, which issues a seal and numbered back label after meticulous assessment and testing.
