Year after year, Ribera del Duero has been rising up to challenge Rioja for her majesty of Spain’s greatest wine region. Once known only as the home of Vega Sicilia it now hosts numerous bodegas of outstanding quality. At lower price points, Ribera offers one of the best wines in the world.
Like Burgundy in France, Ribera del Duero is a classic region that delivers an amazing variety of red wines mostly from one grape variety Tempranillo, thanks to its diverse terroirs. It is a dry area with very diverse soils, including clay, sand, limestone, marl and chalk. The climate is continental, with harsh winters, hot summers and high daily temperature variation.
