Ribera del Duero, Spain
Ribera del Duero is Spain’s temple of Tempranillo, where high-altitude vineyards stretch across sun-baked plains and stony slopes along the Duero River. Hot summers and icy winters sculpt grapes with concentrated dark fruit, firm structure, and vibrant acidity. The soils are a patchwork of limestone, clay, and river stones, giving each vineyard a distinct signature. Here, tradition and precision meet in iconic estates like Vega Sicilia, Pingus, Pesquera, Aalto, and Emilio Moro, producing wines that range from youthful, expressive reds to monumental bottles built for decades. Every glass reveals Ribera’s identity: powerful, elegant, and unmistakably Spanish, a region where terroir speaks clearly and every vintage tells a story.
