About 17 by Pinea

17 by Pinea was created for Pro-Golfer Sergio Garcia's wedding. It was such a crowd-pleaser, that the winery decided to release it to the general public. The flagship wine at the estate retails for $150+ and is one of the top wines in Spain. The 17 is sourced from the estate's younger vines and packs a lot of punch for the price point. It makes a beautiful gift for the wine & golf enthusiast in your life. The weight of the bottle; The Masters Green with the velvet-textured label (akin to a putting green) makes a serious statement. Sergio Garcia won the Masters in 2017.

17 reflects the careful attention to detail in viticulture that characterizes our winery; by aging in American and French oak barrels, the Tempranillo grapes express a sense of origin that is a worthy reflection of the Ribera del Duero.
