Áurea Minerva

With Áurea Minerva, we want to express the terroir and climate of the village Peñaranda, and of one particular vineyard. The wine does not seek perfection, nor pursuing the idea of a typical wine from Ribera del Duero; it rather seeks the most accurate expression and characteristic of a vineyard that we dare to classify, or name, as Great.

Wine made with grapes from our own vineyards in Peñaranda, specifically from the plot “Las Casqueras”, with an altitude of 985 metres, located a few metres away from the Geodesic Point of Peñarranda. The vineyard is more than 50 years old and has a yield of 2.500 kgs/Ha. The soil is mainly calcareous and sandy clay.

Aging for 12 months in French oak barrels of 390 litres.
