Of our wines
O U R V A L L E Y S
From the earth the vine is born, and from the vine its fruit. Our wines, capturing the nuances and characteristics of each area and region, aim to be maximum exponents and faithful reflection of the character of the land where they were born.

Our vineyards
The winery controls approximately 50 hectares of vineyards, distributed in different plots belonging to the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin.
Due to differences in altitude and climate, each farm has different optimum ripening dates and is harvested individually.
A large part of Bodegas Peñafiel’s vineyard is made up of old vines, some of which are over 100 years old.
| PROVINCE | SUBZONE | TITLE | SUMMARY |
|---|---|---|---|
| BURGOS | HONTORIA DE VALDEARADOS | Our wine-growing treasure | A spectacular patrimony of old vines that ensure every year the grapes destined to our most special and iconic wines. |
| BURGOS | LA HORRA | Excellence | Hills, gently sloping hillsides on clay loam, reddish-brown, sandy loam soils. Gravel of sedimentary origin at depth and with large variations between plots. Height of 800 m. |
| BURGOS | GUMIEL DE MERCADO | Nobility | Plot size between 836 and 860 meters. Land oriented mostly to the south, with soft and sandy soils, where sandstone rock outcrops between kermes oak groves. |
| BURGOS | FUENTENEBRO | Clay and altitude | Our vineyards at higher altitudes (approx. 950 m) ensure good acidity and preservation of fruity notes. The characteristic red color of these soils is provided by the presence of iron oxides. The clays retain a lot of water and, together with good sun exposure (south-facing plots), allow optimum ripening without accentuated water stress. |
| BURGOS | SAN JUAN DEL MONTE | Mountain and flowers | Located among rockroses, holm oaks and scrubland, these plots at 850 meters provide floral touches and a fine minerality. |
| BURGOS | SANTA CRUZ DE LA SALCEDA | Freshness and elegance | Slopes and terraces with deep soil, with a diversity of soils (clay-limestone and sandy) and little soil in rocky areas. Height of 881 m. |
| BURGOS | ARANDA DE DUERO | Balance | At 800 meters above sea level, the complexity of the alluvial soils of the Duero Valley (gravels, sands, silts and light clays) gives a special character to our wines. |
| VALLADOLID | CANALEJAS DE PEÑAFIEL AND PEÑAFIEL TOWER | Austerity and finesse | The moorlands with altitudes close to 900 m and the climate of the area enhance the aromatic profile of the vines. Poor soils, with little water and good ventilation, favor a natural and healthy production, avoiding pests and diseases. |
| VALLADOLID | PIÑEL DE ARRIBA | The essence of limestone | Poor limestone soils, with high lime content, which do not retain heat. The grapes ripen slowly and slowly, maintaining a balance between acidity and alcohol, providing elegance and freshness with an attractive floral profile. |
| VALLADOLID | PEÑAFIEL PARAMO | Quality | At 820 m, these plots remain unwavering in quality. The balance between acidity and alcohol content guarantees an excellent result. |
| VALLADOLID | PEÑAFIEL | Our icon on the Golden Mile | Viña Rafael is our iconic plot in the heart of the Golden Mile and is located just a few meters from the winery. |
| VALLADOLID | CASTRILLO DE DUERO | Power | In the vicinity of the Duero River there are clayey-loamy slopes with sandy content and a white-brownish aspect, at 800 m above sea level. |
| VALLADOLID | VALBUENA DE DUERO | Tempranillo in its purest form | Valley formation with clay-limestone soils on slopes and alluvial soils in lower areas. Located at 750 m above sea level. |
| VALLADOLID | SAN BERNARDO | Body and structure | Plots with a mixture of sands and clays that provide structure, body and tannins to our wines. |
| VALLADOLID | QUINTANILLA DE ARRIBA | Well-drained slopes, with poorly structured calcareous-clay soils with sandy content. White-brownish appearance, at 800 m altitude. |
