spanish wines - Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon

2021 was the first vintage of this wine made by one of Rueda's top estates. This Victoria cuvée is Ignacio's and Martina's tribute to their mother Victoria Pariente, who founded this bodega. This wine is made with organic grapes of two red varietals (tempranillo and grenache) and one white varietal, viognier, which is more surprising for a rosé.

This white wine was born after owner Oriol traveled to Germany to attend a concert. On his return, he wanted to create the ideal white to enjoy at a concert, picnic or with friends. Thus was born El Oso y la Alemana, an intense, flavorful white Toro with lots of character.

Sold as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, this wine comes from vines located with the Toro DO. Il is made mainly with Verdejo and Malvasia, but as they are franc-de-pied (ungrafted) vines, they also include some Muscat, Albillo and Albariño plants.

This Páramos de Nicasia is Oriol & Susana's "village wine" in Toro. It comes from an old ungrafted vine in Villaester, North West of the Douro, on sandy soils. Besides the typical Tinta de Toro, one can find there quite a lot of Grenache and Malvasia. If you add to all of this Oriol's very traditional approach to winemaking, you get a really singular Toro.

One of the few Viogniers from Spain. Although Prieto Pariente is more focused on local varietals, they could not resist making a wine with the high quality grapes of this parcel of Viognier in La Seca (Rueda). The vines were planted in 1999 on a limestone terroir which is rich in magnesium, with good drainage and good exposure to the wind. The yield is 4.5 tonnes per hectare.
