Villacreces extends across an estate of 110 hectares, 64 of them vineyard, situated on a meander of the Duero river, in the heart of the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero. This vineyard is divided into 15 plots of tinto fino (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties, which intermingle with a century-old pine forest of great environmental and landscape value. Finca Villacreces emerges as a unique vineyard, conditioned by the diversity of soils where it is planted, ranging from extremely sandy areas near the pines, to very stony terrain where pebbles from the Duero’s alluvial deposits predominate. The poor soil naturally guarantees low yields of around 4,000 kg/hectare. Finca Villacreces is planted at 700 meters above sea level and experiences an extreme climate, with large thermal oscillations, long winters and dry summers with low rainfall. However, the forest surrounding the estate provides a special microclimate that protects the vineyard from the harshest weather conditions. At Finca Villacreces, quality-focused viticulture is pursued, where the vineyard self-regulates to limit production to less than 2 kilos per vine. In turn, these vineyards are cultivated following integrated viticulture criteria, where the vine’s natural condition is controlled and preserved to obtain wines with the personality and typicity characteristic of Villacreces.
