The Bodega Pagos del Rey presents to us the Vino Tinto Condado de Oriza Crianza, a prominent example of the Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero (Spain), made exclusively from the 100% Tempranillo grape variety, also known as Tinta del País. The grapes come from vineyards over 20 years old, carefully selected in the surroundings of Olmedillo de Roa (Burgos).

The process starts with a rigorous selection of the grapes, which then undergo a 2-day maceration period. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28ºC, allowing for the maximum extraction of the varietal expression of Tempranillo.

Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 14 months in new barrels of American oak. This aging gives the wine its aromatic complexity and tannic structure. After this time in barrels, the wine is bottled and remains in the bottle for 9 months, refining its characteristics before hitting the market.

Awards: The Condado de Oriza Crianza 2021 has been awarded the gold medal at the prestigious 2024 Mundus Vini competition, and has received the recognition BEST OF SHOW Ribera del Duero in Retail Markets, highlighting its high quality and dedication in its production.

In the last three decades, the D.O Ribera del Duero has established itself as one of the most important wine regions in Spain. Located in the northern plateau, it covers the provinces of Burgos, Segovia, Soria, and Valladolid. Despite its name, it does not cover the entire Duero River, but includes over 100 towns. Currently, Ribera del Duero boasts more than 250 wineries and over 22,000 hectares of vineyards, mainly focused on red wine production.
