Bodegas Tamaral
Description
Data of interest
The couple from Zamora, Ricardo Santiago and Carmen Torío, embarked in 1995 on a research project alongside a group of friends, several of them agronomists, which materialized two years later in the founding of Bodegas y Viñedos Tamaral in Peñafiel, at the heart of the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero.
It encompasses 64 hectares of its own vineyards over 40 years old, located in Pesquera de Duero, Peñafiel, and Castrillo del Duero; and an additional 50 hectares of old vineyards under medium- and long-term lease agreements. It works exclusively with the tempranillo variety and trellis training, and is in the process of converting the vineyards to organic farming. The winery is already organic, producing half a million bottles.
The Pesquera de Duero estate is its great treasure and supplies its Premium wines. This plot is located at an altitude of 900 meters on a plateau, featuring various soil types. Thanks to this altitude, it benefits from a greater thermal amplitude between seasons and between day and night. The first condition ensures an adequate annual vine cycle; the second promotes the maturation of polyphenols, the accumulation of aromas, and a better acidic balance in the berries.
The winery maintains a moderate production, always prioritizing quality. It integrates traditional agricultural techniques with state-of-the-art equipment; and for vinification, it combines different containers: stainless steel, concrete tanks, and wooden vats.
