MATALLANA

Since 1998, we have come to appreciate Ribera del Duero in a different way

We are committed to the recuperation of villages with great viticultural traditions by restoring exceptional old vineyards and by re-planting the villages’ best sites “the old way” (respecting the plot, field blend of local massal selection, traditional planting density, bush vines...)

From the northern area of Sotillo de la Ribera with its calcareous slopes to the reddish mountains of Pardilla in the south, we chose five villages with different soils and landscapes. We believe that by combining their best elements we can create a unique Ribera del Duero wine.

Today, Matallana has eleven vineyards totaling 21.5 ha, guaranteeing the integrity of our wines.
