Vineyards and location

Montecastro's vineyards are spread across several plots in the Ribera del Duero, at altitudes that create coolness and aromatic tension. The extreme continental climate, with warm days and cool nights, plays a key role in the structure of the wines.

The soils consist mainly of limestone, clay and sand, which contribute to concentration, freshness and aging potential.

Grape and style

Montecastro works mainly with Tempranillo (Tinto Fino), the dominant grape of Ribera del Duero.

The style of the house is characterized by:

• ripe but controlled fruit
• firm, ripe tannins
• balance between power and elegance
• clear structure

The wines are expressive and layered, without becoming clumsy or heavy.

The Montecastro wines offer a clear interpretation of Tempranillo, with a focus on origin and vintage. Careful selection and aging give the wines depth and length while maintaining freshness.

This style makes Montecastro interesting for enthusiasts who want to discover Ribera del Duero beyond the most established icons.

Vinification and philosophy

Montecastro employs modern vinification techniques focused on precision and consistency. The use of wood is functional, adding structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

The philosophy revolves around balance, purity and letting the grape and the region speak for themselves.

Who is Montecastro interesting for?

• Searching Ribera del Duero with strength and finesse
