Vizcarra

In the 1980s, before the Ribera del Duero became a fashionable winemaking area, José Manuel Vizcarra Aguado was a pioneer in planting new vineyards. In 1991 his son Juan Carlos Vizcarra Ramos followed in his father’s footsteps by initially making young wines, but later elaborating aged wines.

In 2007, Vizcarra started making wine in new facilities where gravity is used in the whole process (pump over, wine press, run off and rack and return) and avoid the use of pumps in order to obtain intense aromas and soft tannins.

These systems are undertaken with the utmost respect to the end product. The personality and elegance of the resulting wines stand out due to the combination of careful viticulture work, environmentally friendly processes, and low fruit yields.
