Vineyard and Harvest

Located in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region in Castilla y León, Torrederos’ Tempranillo vineyard sits at an altitude of 850 to 900 meters above sea level. All plots lie within a 5-kilometer radius of the winery, allowing for continuous monitoring and strict quality control—ensuring that every bottle reflects the excellence of our terroir.

Vinification

The process begins with a pre-fermentation cold maceration of the grapes, followed by alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place in a combination of French and American oak barrels, where the wine is aged for 18 months. After bottling, it rests for an additional 18 months before release, ensuring depth, balance, and longevity.

Aging

18 months in 80% French oak, 20% American oak

18 months aging in the bottle, to develop complexity and integration of flavors.
