Bodegas Santiago Arroyo
Description
Data of interest
Bodegas Santiago Arroyo was founded in 1960 as an association of several winegrowers from Sotillo de la Ribera. In 1994, Santiago Arroyo, the son of a winegrower and winemaker from this locality, took over the reins of the winery and initiated a renovation of the facilities. Thus began the modern history of the winery, now recognized for the consistency of its wines. Today, at over eighty years old, Santiago Arroyo continues to care for his vineyards, totaling 90 hectares divided into 14 different plots, all located in Sotillo de la Ribera and cultivated with tempranillo, the queen grape of Ribera del Duero.
The tempranillo, under the extreme climate conditions of the region, produces wines with the acidity and structure suitable for long aging. Most of Santiago Arroyo's vineyards grow on the sunny banks of the Duero River valley, at altitudes ranging from 920 m to 820 m in the lower vineyards. The diversity of soils hosting the vineyards is reflected in the aromas and flavors of the wines. Each vineyard, depending on its characteristics, is dedicated to a specific type of wine. Rosés and young wines are made from vineyards on deep soils that maintain good acidity; aged reds are crafted from vineyards on clay-limestone soils; and reservas from the most calcareous soils. The gran reserva is only produced in certain vintages.
