We are a small and established winery situated in Ribera del Duero, with 86 acres of vineyards. We take meticulous care of our estate in order to produce premium-grade wines. Our production is limited to just 100,000 bottles per year. All of our grapes are handpicked in small 40-pound crates, and enter the winery via a manual sorting table. We do not house a hopper, nor do we have pumps or hoses. The entire winery has been designed to be one of the most modern in the region, and was conceived by a local architect, who happens to be the owner’s son. Our wines offer excellent value, and have been recognized by many international publications, earning 89/93+ points from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and others.
