Ribera del Duero wines have achieved a status of excellence in Spain and internationally, thanks to various oenological factors that make them stand out. One of the key elements is the extreme continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers, which promotes the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines with great aromatic concentration and a distinctive structure.

Another factor is the uniqueness of its soils, composed of layers of clay, sand, and limestone, which add complexity and minerality. Moreover, the star grape of the region, Tempranillo, expresses itself in a unique way in Ribera del Duero, producing wines that are intense, full-bodied, with smooth tannins, and an exceptional aging capacity.

Added to this is the commitment to maintaining a balance between traditional techniques and modern oenological innovations, which allows for the creation of high-quality wines with an unmistakable personality and global recognition. A prime example of this is our Oráculo and Aventino 200 Barricas, two wines that leave everyone who tastes them speechless.

These characteristics solidify Ribera del Duero as one of the best wine regions in Spain.
