Today, 126 families are part of the cooperative, working vines planted between 40 and 110 years ago at an average altitude of 825 metres. Deeply rooted in Castilian winemaking history – where wine has shaped the region since medieval times – the winery takes its name from the area famed for its underground cellars. Their philosophy combines tradition and precision to produce authentic, characterful Ribera del Duero wines with real soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: 100% Tempranillo (Tinto del País)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManually harvested from high-altitude, old-vine vineyards for concentration and balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8–10 days of maceration with the skins to extract colour, flavour and structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures below 25ºC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged for 4 months in small barrels (70% American oak, 30% French oak), followed by 4–6 months in bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribera del Duero, Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, dry, oak-aged (Roble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eSpanish red wine from Ribera del Duero\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers everything you want from Tempranillo – ripe black fruit, fine tannins and just the right touch of oak.
