Pago del Cielo 2019 is a red wine made from tempranillo sourced from two selected vineyards situated at an altitude of 840 meters: El Obispo, in Piñel (Pesquera), with limestone soils that provide elegance; and Las Tenadas, in La Horra, with deep clay-sandy soils that give it good acidity, aromatic intensity, and solid structure. The iconic wine of the Pago del Cielo winery captures the essence of the old vines from both plots, which, when combined, result in a refined 'Ribera' full of complexity and freshness.

The winery
Pago del Cielo is the winemaking project of the Familia Torres (winemakers from Penedès since 1870) based in two privileged regions for vine cultivation, Ribera del Duero and Rueda. Tradition, commitment to quality, and passion for viticulture come together in this project led by winemaker Juan Ramón García, which began to take shape in 2004 with the purchase of a small winery in Fompedraza, in the Campo de Peñafiel region (Valladolid), and currently has 45 hectares of owned vineyards.
It also includes the winery that Familia Torres has in Villafranca del Duero, in Rueda, since 2014, with its 20 hectares of vineyards. Pago del Cielo produces seven labels: the tinto fino wines Pago del Cielo, the new icon of the winery, Celeste Reserva, Celeste Crianza, Celeste Roble, and 62 Millas al Cielo, under the D.O. Ribera del Duero, the white Celeste Verdejo (D.O. Rueda), and Celeste Rosé (D.O. Cigales).
