Clarete is a traditional style of wine, especially in northern Spain, made of co-fermented white and red grapes. It had been largely forgotten in Ribera del Duero until Jorge Monzón (formerly of DRC) succeeded in his campaign to have the style recognised in the Ribera denominación de origen. Barrel-aged, with plenty of ageing potential, this is a category-defining wine.
