TASTING NOTES
 

Additional Information
 

Pico Cuadrois a family-owned wine cellar located in Ribera del Duero. This cellar has a style that is entirely its own.

Felipe Castrillo, an enologist in charge of the management of the cellar, started this project in 2004.

The concern firm selects vineyards from the best rooting areas in the riverside. At present, work is done in 12.35 acres, distributed in 14 different plots or ‘pagos’. The stocks of our youngest vineyards are no less than 20 years old. The oldest ones are pre-filoxeric, some of them over 90 years old.

Vessel-like irrigation system. Landscape of dry-soil slopes, ravines facing the valley, and sandy plains. This variety implies that there are very different ‘pagos’. All of them bear remarkable names from the Middle Ages: Zunbrin, Carraquintana, Mazalcastaño, Carrahontoria, Valdaya, el Arenal, Taurete, FuenteSalud
