RED WINE FINCA VILLACRECES MAGNUM D.O Ribera de Duero
Finca Villacreces is the emblematic wine of the estate, from which it takes its name. It is made with a meticulous selection of the best vines from the 15 vineyard plots that Finca Villacreces treasures.
The vineyard consists of 64 hectares on the Finca Villacreces property, with the grape variety being 86% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Merlot.
During aging, it spends 14 months in new French oak barrels with a fine grain.
Villacreces extends over a 110-hectare estate, 64 of which are vineyards, settled on a meander of the Duero River, in the heart of the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero. This vineyard is divided into 15 plots of the varieties tinto fino (tempranillo), cabernet sauvignon, and merlot, which are intermingled with a century-old pine forest of great environmental and scenic value.
Finca Villacreces thus emerges as a unique vineyard, conditioned by the diversity of soils where it is planted, ranging from extremely sandy areas near the pines to very rocky terrain where the pebbles from the alluvial deposition of the Duero predominate. The poverty of the soil guarantees, naturally, low yields of around 4,000 kg/hectare.
Finca Villacreces is planted at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and is subject to an extreme climate, with large temperature fluctuations, long winters, and dry summers with low rainfall. However, the forest that surrounds the estate provides it with a special microclimate that protects the vineyard from the most aggressive weather conditions.
At Finca Villacreces, viticulture focused on quality is sought, where the vineyard self-regulates to limit production to less than 2 kilograms per vine. In turn, these vineyards are cultivated following integrated viticulture criteria, where the natural condition of the vine is controlled and preserved to obtain wines with the personality and typicality of Villacreces.
