We weren't looking to add another Ribera del Duero producer to our portfolio, but when one of the few that is actually older than Valduero came knocking, we couldn't pass it up. The brothers Benjamin, Manuel and Adolfo Perez Pascuas established the winery in 1980, but their father Mauro actually planted grapes well before that. The bodega was one of the founding group that established the official D.O. in 1982. So, you have a well-established family business dedicated to top quality wines from all estate grapes featuring older vines. At about 2600 feet above sea level, these vines benefit from a wide diurnal temperature range, which preserves the acidity and hence freshness of the wines.
