Finca Villacreces

Ribera del Duero

Finca Villacreces is a stunning estate situated at the western end of the renowned 'golden mile' in the Ribera del Duero DO, bordering both Vega Sicilia and Pingus.

The mature vineyards are planted on a mixture of soils: sandy, gravel, shingle and quartz, each one contributing to different flavours in the fruit as well as to the low yields, which are of around three tonnes per hectare. The vineyards are planted with approximately 75% Tempranillo (mostly on the sandy vineyards, which give an attractive fleshiness to the wines), 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (mostly on the quartz and shingle, giving more mineral complexity). Organic practices are used as much as possible, and the close proximity of the river helps to protect against frost. Work is currently being undertaken in the vineyards to raise the height of the canopy to obtain riper, healthier grapes.

Finca Villacreces was purchased by the Anton family, owners of Viña Izadi in 2003. If you would like to find out more about this winery or others in the family's portfolio then visit their website here:
