Bardos Vinedos de Altura 2020

In 2004 when we began our exploration in the search for the wine regions with most potential in Spain, we discovered Páramo de Corcos, a difficult but privileged area for viticulture, at more than 900 meters above sea level in the heart of the Ribera del Duero. There, we took up the challenge of creating honest wines on the land from which they came, seeking the essence of high-altitude vineyards full of freshness and elegance. Since 2016, we have also been exploring a hitherto uncharted region, the Ribera in Soria, where we have discovered vineyards that exceed our expectations: ferrous clay soils, over a thousand meters in height, and an uncommon freshness. This Bardos Viñedos de Altura is the result. At Bodegas Bardos we elaborate wines in an artisan fashion, aiming to have them reflect the Castilian landscape and climate of a place where only the bravest dare to work the land in the most extreme conditions, where the cold shrinks the bones, the wind cuts the flesh and the sun burns the skin. A place only suitable for the authentic “bards” of wine, our wine growers.
