This family winery had its beginnings in Pedrosa de Duero, in the heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, Paco Rodero's hometown. Paco, with his father Doroteo, took care of his family vineyard, a plot that had belonged to the village chaplains centuries ago.this small vineyard of the native Tempranillo variety was the beginning of the project of Paco Rodero and his wife Conchita Villa.since then, they have worked the vineyards to supply wineries in the Ribera del Du ero and to found their own, where they have been making wines for 20 years. In addition, they are also owners of the winery O Luar do Sil, where they produce white wines in Valdeorras from the Godello variety.
The Pago de los Capellanes vineyards are planted with the Tinto Fino or Tempranillo variety, the native grape of Ribera del Duero. Although initially there were only a few selected vines, year after year they have been multiplying their best clones.
In the vineyards they obtain
5,000 kilograms of grapes per hectare, below the 7,000 allowed by the C.R.D.O of Ribera del Duero, a quality that guarantees the best quality of the raw material
.Pago de los Capellanes Roble is a red wine from the
D.O. Ribera del Duero produced by
Pago de los Capellanes. After the harvest, the grapes of
Pago de los Capellanes Roble are transported to the winery, where they first undergo a brief cold pre-fermentation.
Pago de los Capellanes Ro ble is then vatted for about 22 days, during which time the wine is pumped over and pumped down. During this time the wine is pumped over and pumped down daily, controlling at all times the density, temperature and evolution of the yeasts. After this process, the tanks are bled and malolactic fermentation takes place at 20ºC for a period of 24 days.
Pago de los Capellanes Roble finally rests for 5 months in new French oak barrels before being released to the market.
