PRODUCER PROFILE Believing deeply in the potential of their family vineyard to make top-quality wines, the Pérez Pascuas siblings founded their own winery in 1980. Situated on a hill just outside the village of Pedrosa del Duero, the winery's high altitude (over 850m) creates a cooler microclimate and a longer growing season. The estate fully converted to organic viticulture and practices in 2023. In line with these vineyard changes, the winemaking is also evolving, with a lovely energy and freshness now balancing the wine's richness. VINEYARD & VINIFICATION The grapes are handpicked from clay-limestone soils to ensure quality and expression of terroir. Vinification involves destemming and gentle pressing, followed by a 15-day maceration on the skins to extract colour andstructure. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using activated dried yeast. The wine is then aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak casks, adding depth and complexity, before spending a further 6 months maturing in the bottle prior to release.
