Description

The winery is situated on top of the hill just outside the village of Pedrosa del Duero, with panoramic views over the surrounding vineyards and countryside. This position at altitude is responsible for their overall micro-climate being cooler, with a considerable diurnal temperature differential. This makes for a lengthier growing season with the grapes hanging longer on the vine for slow ripening, meaning their harvest is often completed weeks after surrounding, lower lying vineyards. As of 2023, the estate has fully converted to organic.

The wines are judiciously matured in French oak casks to produce serious, multi-layered wines of great elegance and finesse. The Cepa Gavilán and Crianza offer medium to full-bodied, complex wines with flavours of chocolate, coffee and black olive tapenade, firm tannins and great life. The Cepa Gavilán is perfect as a lunch time red. The Reserva wines are made from 90% Tempranillo vines (which have an average age of 30 and 45 years respectively) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
