Since star sommelier-turned-winemaker Terry Kandylis released his first wines in 2023, fans have been eagerly anticipating the inaugural release of Bendito Destino’s single-vineyard cuvées. Established in 2020, Bendito Destino comprises 4ha of rejuvenated centennial bush vines – mainly Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Albillo, co-planted with rare local varieties – around the village of Canalejas de Peñafiel in Ribera del Duero.
