Pago de los Capellanes

Pago de los Capellanes is located near the village of Pedrosa de Duero in the heart of the Ribera del Duero. An area of ​​the Capellanes that is formed by plots of land with olive or grape plantations. This is clearly an area with its own wine history.

Years of expertise and strict control
Pago de los Capellanes once started with a number of tinto fino (tempranillo) vines. After years of cloning the best grapes from that harvest, the company now owns 100 hectares of vineyards and is among the top of the DO. Quality is paramount and is maintained by strict selection in the orchard, during the cloning process and in the cellar.

They do not believe in coincidences
The 100 hectares are divided over 35 plots, each plot has its own approach. Around the harvest period, a sample of the fruit is taken twice a day to determine the ripeness and evolution. The daytime temperature of 25°C with the contrasting 5°C at night gives the wine maturity, more colour, soft tannins and above all a good acid structure.

Grand and impressive
In the enormous underground cellar, which is just as impressively laid out as a catacomb, the wines mature for up to three years. The impressive long rows of French wooden barrels are arranged with millimetre precision. There is no doubt about it, serious maturing takes place here.

And the result?
The Pago de los Capellanes wines have a soul and speak for themselves. From the young wine to the crus. El Nogal and El Picón are the real deal: fresh juice, creamy mouthfeel, a length of up to days and a digestibility that makes you refill the glass without hesitation.
