VITICULTURE
The vineyards are situated in four different geodesic points of Ribera del Duero - La Aguilera, Baños de Valdearados, Peñaranda, Moradillo de Roa. La Aguilera is located in the area of the Valdevicente geodesic point at an altitude of 875 meters with sandy soils that impart finesse and freshness to the grape. Baños de Valdearados, at the Gallucazo geodesic point at 920 meters altitude, has a more clayey but very fresh soil, resulting in finer yet persistent tannins and great freshness. Peñaranda, at the Casqueras geodesic point at 940 meters altitude, has sandy calcareous soil with stones that give the wine muscle and silkiness, along with plenty of black and red fruit. Moradillo, at the Campejon geodesic point at 950 meters altitude, has clayey soil that attributes very fine and noble tannins.
