These days, walking through the plot of La Tejera, its enclave and its qualities continue to amaze us. It is a strategic enclave that has resulted in the survival of this pre-phylloxera vineyard, planted around 1900. This is the origin of Unanimos Finca La Tejera wine, a production comprised of fewer than 2,000 bottles per year. Located in Fuentecén, in a small valley that flows into the Riaza River (a branch of the Duero River) we come across a plot of land with old Tempranillo vines among which we also find some Garnacha, Albillo Mayor, and other unidentified vines. This is a plantation desi ..read more

Perhaps this is too radical a question, but it is very much to be taken into account in this day and age. “Union, analogy or conformity with which some things are linked or correspond to each other.” This is how the RAE (Real Academia Española) defines the concept of pairing. Already from the outset, we find it extremely shocking to define wine pairing in this way. Gone (we hope) is the traditional concept of pairing in the world of wine: reds for meat and whites for fish. That horrendous precept we have come out of, or are coming out of, thanks to the greater knowledge of the consumer and the ..read more

Now that the 2020 vintage has been on the market for several weeks, here is more about the wine that conveys the very essence of our project in the Ribera del Duero Burgalesa: NOBBIS. Nobbis (‘Us’) is where the journey began. It is the story of a family (and friends) that is all about an attitude to life. People brought together by a shared passion for wine who set out on a journey together in midst of grapevines. Behold the dragonfly, flying hither and thither; the bird (the golden oriole), which oversees everything so it arrives at the right time and in good shape; and the earthbound beetle ..read more

It’s already the spring of 2022, the beginning of April. Temperatures are on the rise and the vegetative cycle of plants sees them come to life. This spells the time for planting in the vineyard. It is time for the planting of new vines, continuing the recovery of our heritage and the life of our locality (Fuentecén, Ribera del Duero Burgalesa). The work is carried out at this time of year to make the most of the spring rain. Also, the new plants start the vegetative cycle at the same time as their older siblings. The aim of our new plantings is always to restock exceptional vineyards with ori ..read more

The saying goes “year of snow, year of good things”, although with this crazy weather who knows. On the Three Kings’ Day, January 6th, we woke up with a beautiful snowfall in our vineyards in the Ribera del Duero Burgalesa. The previous year the snow was seen a few days later (on January 9th with the already famous Filomena), although the temperatures at the beginning of the year were more regular than those of 2022. The benefits of the snowfall that fell a few days ago, go beyond the beautiful pictures that we find in our region. One of the main contributions of the snow, falling on the viney ..read more

Formerly, in the Ribera del Duero harvest, relatives and friends were gathered together to collect the grapes, or alternatively, people from nearby towns were hired. The harvest work began on the same day throughout the whole town, at the moment when the town hall gave the green light. With mule or ox carts and amidst the revelry of the songs from the groups, they walked towards the vineyard, garillo in hand. In what were called the cribs, the grapes that were being harvested were placed there to later be taken to the wineries. These cribs or large wicker baskets (also made with oak or chestnu ..read more

In the winter months we work to improve the fertility of our soils with organic matter, since we are believers in organic and regenerative agriculture for all the different vineyard plots. In Tres Piedras we continue to fertilize as before in our historic Fuentecén vineyards, in the Ribera del Duero Burgalesa. We bury the manure from sheep, cows and horses from organic farms in the center of the vineyard rows. Livestock farms that also support the business fabric, provide jobs for local families living in the surrounding environment and whose passage through the mountains continuously clears t ..read more

These are the most intense days of the year. Everything operates at the highest level and at maximum speed. Our legs and hands do not stop. Neither does the mind. The vineyard has spoken and expressed itself. During the harvest it shows us what it has been capable of producing this year. It gives us everything it has. We have to be able to pick that fruit in a precise way, at the perfect moment of ripening. A chronicle of the grape harvest, here: On Thursday, October 14, as we write these words, we find ourselves at Tres Piedras with approximately 35% of the grapes harvested. We have already h ..read more

Half of Spain is on vacation. Everything, or practically everything, comes to a standstill in July and August in our country, except for the vineyard. These months are especially important for the vegetative growth of the vine and we must attend to it in order to obtain the highest quality in the next 2021 harvest. Since May, in Ribera del Duero we have been working on the leaf mass of the vines, also commonly known as “green work.” What type of work is this? It consists of selecting and arranging the most worthy stems and clusters in order to obtain grapes of the highest quality. During the w ..read more
