Bodegas Bardos (Fuentemolinos, Burgos) is the Vintae Wine Company project in the Ribera del Duero. To settle in the denomination, Vintae sought out the area with the highest altitude, Páramo de Corcos, 10,000 hectares that live all year round under extreme temperatures and in which the highest quality DO grapes are obtained. Páramo is a flat landscape located 950 meters above sea level, between the villages of Fuentemolinos and Moradillo de Roa, an area that supports temperatures of 40 degrees in summer and -15 in winter, and where only the best vines survive to provide an exceptional grape.

But the search for the freshest vineyards in Ribera did not stop there and a few years later, Vintae continued his adventure in the easternmost part of the DO, in the province of Soria. Very close to the source of the Duero River, in the surroundings of the town of San Esteban de Gormaz, they found vineyards with all the ingredients that the project’s philosophy required: altitude (almost 1000 meters), freshness (thanks to their ferrous clay soils) and a handful of brave winegrowers willing to conserve their vines.

That’s why Bardos honors those winegrowers who could live much better in gentler areas, but prefer to maintain the legacy of several generations tending to their vineyards with their own hands.
