Castile

Castile – powerful red wines from the Spanish high plateau

Castile and León in northwestern Spain is one of the country's most significant wine regions. The vast high plateau at an altitude of around 800 to 1000 meters ensures an extreme climate with hot summers and cold winters – and that is exactly what shapes the character of the wines: powerful, structured, with good acidity and depth. At the center is the red grape variety Tempranillo, which is vinified here under different names and in different styles into impressive wines.

Ribera del Duero – the heart

The best-known appellation of the region is the Ribera del Duero, which stands for dark, tannin-rich red wines with aging potential. Those who know wines from this area know: they often need some time, but reward patience with complexity and elegance. Large bodegas like Alión or La Rioja Alta have estates here that count among the most sought-after in Spain.
