Convento San Francisco 2017 is made up of a group of Tempranillo vineyards under the DO Ribera del Duero, located in the municipalities of Gumiel de Izán and Fuentenebro, with an average age of 85 years. They are located between 760 and 970 meters above sea level, on slopes and moors. The soils are composed of sand with quartz sediments, red clay and limestone with pebbles. The plots were harvested between September 24 and 28, 2017, manually, in 15 kg boxes. These were received through a double selection table, of bunches and grapes. It fermented and macerated at a controlled temperature for 17 days with daily pump-overs and manual punching. It aged 20 months in Bordeaux barrels of 225 French oak.
The Convento San Francisco winery was founded in 1998. It is housed within the 13th century remains of the San Francisco convent in Penafiel at the heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero. Full advantage has been taken of old buildings that have stood the test of time, by renovating them to create century-old spaces for the production of fine wine. Full respect is given to the region’s ancient wine-making traditions while at the same time incorporating new technology into the production process. Starting from the principal that no two harvests are the same, we aim to interpret each harvest individually in order to achieve the best expression of the grapes. The result is pleasant wines with personality that are capable of satisfying experts as well as current-day lovers of fine wine.
