After experimenting with various diverse varieties, we recognize that Tempranillo is the queen of Ribera del Duero.
\nIt adapts well to this extreme climate and is the only variety that generously offers an exceptional ageing potential.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 140 hectares of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo).

WHITE – ALBILLO MAYOR<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our White grape is an exceptional antioxidant, which allows us to elaborate young wines without having to make any additions. Also, due to a rigorous grape selection we can age our whites for a long time both in oak and in bottle allowing a complex development of aromas and flavours in white Reserve and Gran Reserves. White Albillo Mayor wine can stand up to any great international white wine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00b7 12 hectares of Albillo Mayor White grape.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The 152 hectares of Ribera del Duero vineyards are planted as bush vines and are dry farmed expressing their respect for natural resources in an area where water is scarce.

<\/p>\nALTITUDE<\/h2>\n
\nWe settled initially in the upper area of \u200b\u200bthe Ribera del Duero (at 840m above sea level) after checking the great structure of the grapes in this area, whilst many others took to the lowlands which are more productive, we decided to plant in even higher ground – at 900 meters! Wonderful! What a perfect combination of tannins! What a great structure! What a peculiar personality! How lucky are we!\u201d<\/p>\nRESPECTING THE EARTH<\/h2>\n
\nYolanda conceived a natural form of viticulture, dispensing with the use of chemical fertilizers, in order not to pollute the groundwater or the soil, in such a way that no chemical affects the microfauna of the earth. Our plants are fertilized with sheep manure, never with chemicals.<\/p>\nNATURAL WATER RESOURCES<\/h2>\n
RESPECTING THE GRAPE<\/h2>\n
\nWe obtain a unique grape which is sourced from one of the highest points in the Ribera del Duero and yields maximum 4000 kg. por hectare.
\nYolanda is totally against the selection of bunches with a machine, and argues that “this type of mechanical selection homogenizes wines, turning them into wines similar to one another, generic global wines”<\/p>\nVineyards and<\/h2>\n
