Bodegas Monteabellón
Description
Data of interest
In the year 2000, the fourth generation of the García family, renowned viticulturists from Ribera del Duero, decided to start producing wine from their own vineyards and created the Bodegas Monteabellón project in Nava de Roa (Burgos). Their extensive knowledge of the region's viticultural heritage, the strict limitation on vineyard yields, and cutting-edge winemaking supported by the latest vinification technologies position this as one of the most remarkable recent projects in the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
The great value of Bodegas Monteabellón lies in the 160 hectares of vineyards it controls around Nava de Roa, mainly of the tempranillo (tinta de país) variety. These vines provide the grapes for their wines, but if they do not meet the stringent requirements set by the García family, they are harvested and sold to other wineries in the region. Nevertheless, all the vineyards managed by Bodegas Monteabellón are meticulously identified by plots, with quality differentiated based on the age of the vines and the altitude of the parcels.
Thus, the young or less-aged wines are sourced from parcels located closer to the Duero River. The second working zone consists of parcels farther from the Castilian river and at higher altitudes, with sandy-loam soils containing limestone and clay. Finally, the vineyards situated at the highest altitudes, on stony soils with a high limestone content, offer extreme conditions that yield clusters perfect for superior aging.
