Pago Calzadilla

The history of Pago Calzadilla dates back to 1979, when the Uribes Madero family decided to purchase a 26-hectare estate located in Huete, in the Alcarria Conquense region, specifically in the Valle del Río Mayor, an area situated at an altitude of between 900 and 1,000 meters where there was no winemaking tradition. Here, in 1980, they began planting vines on trellised slopes, and in 1992 they produced their first wine. Today, Pago Calzadilla comprises 20 hectares of vineyards that produce 100,000 kg of grapes from the varieties tempranillo, garnacha, syrah, and cabernet sauvignon.The personality of the ‘terroir’ of Pago Calzadilla, with its limestone soils rich in the mineral ‘lapis specularis,’ exclusive to the Alcarria Conquense, makes the wines of this winery truly unique. In fact, since 2011, Pago Calzadilla has been one of the few Spanish wineries recognized as “Vino de Pago,” the highest quality category, which allows it to produce wines under its own Designation of Origin: D.O. Pago Calzadilla.
