Vineyard notes:
Bodegas Paramo de Corcos
Paramo de Corcos is a special area within the D.O. Ribera del Duero because of its particular characteristics. It is a plateau at an altitude of 950 m above sea level, with a harsh climate with temperatures ranging from highs of 40 °C in the summer to lows of -15 °C in winter and very little rainfall. The soil is also very special, with unique characteristics for growing vines. It consists of sandy loam with a deep layer of clay underneath and a pebbly surface on top.
The 30 ha of vineyards show a wide range of traits that make them unique. The vines have been grafted onto old, quality vines from the area.
These factors make the wines of Paramo de Corcos different from any other from the vineyard. Every plot is controlled and studied. They have been working at the vineyard for many years, so they know each plot perfectly and this allows them to obtain the maximum potential of the vineyards. In view of the exceptional setting for grape growing and the availability of a native grape variety that has adapted to the harshness of the area, with unique characteristics for making great wines, it was a question of time before a wine such as Paramos de Corcos could be created, a wine that reflects the land, the climate, the grape variety and the work of its people.
