When Dominio Basconcillos decided to launch
its winery project, we looked in the part of the Ribera region
that has the longest wine making tradition. It was here that
the Benedictine monks introduced grape growing around their monastery
and taught wine making, and where the most extreme microclimatic
conditions are found and can be used to obtain fruit with more
intense flavour and aromas.
Located in a privileged location as it is the municipality of
Gumiel de Izan, noble historical past and wine-producing tradition,
the vineyards of Domino Basconcillos cover the smooth and extended
slopes that draw the Ribera del Duero geography. Wines and cellars
are inside the property with and area of 50 ha. and situated
1.000 meters above sea level, forms an unexpected valley. The
fact that our wines are located in a plot 1.000 meters above
sea level gives them character.
