Bodegas Finca Villacreces

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 mixed with a century-old pine forest of great environmental and landscape 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 stony terrains where cobbles predominate from the alluvial deposition of the Duero. The poverty of the soil guarantees, naturally, low yields that hover 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 surrounding 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 until production is limited to less than 2 kilograms per vine. At the same time, 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.
