Nosotros

The essence of Bodegas Prieto Pariente is rooted in the practice of viticulture in our land and the expression of the Castilla y León terroir through unique wines.

Nuestra bodega nace de la ilusión de los hermanos Martina e Ignacio Prieto Parientefamilia bodeguera PARIENTE – por emprender un proyecto vitivinícola con un estilo muy personal. Su meta siempre ha sido crear vinos singulares, que aporten un carácter diferenciador, un perfil de frescura y de complejidad.

Durante dos años, se embarcaron en una búsqueda de viñas viejas y singulares desde la provincia de Valladolid, a su paso por el río Duero, hasta las laderas minerales de la Sierra de Gredos; en algunos casos rescatando viñedos centenarios que iban a ser descepados.

El estilo estuvo claro desde el principio: “Vinos que expresen las singularidades de cada suelo, de cada clima, a través de una elaboración delicada. Creemos firmemente en una viticultura sostenible, y en el respeto hacia las raíces.”

Winemaking

Tradition, sustainable viticulture, and respect for our roots.

We perform manual harvesting of all our vineyards, with a first grape selection in the field. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes rest in a refrigerated chamber for a few hours to reach the optimal temperature for winemaking.

After a second manual selection on the sorting table, grape by grape, it is transported by gravity to 2,500L fermentation tanks, allowing us to perform a vinification by parcel.

We choose spontaneous fermentations, light pressings, extended macerations, and light extractions. Aging, between 12 and 18 months, is done in French oak barrels, foudres, demi-muids, and oval-shaped concrete tanks.

Innovation

Our strong commitment to R&D allows us to constantly search for new winemaking techniques and improvements in our viticultural practices. Our ultimate goal is to produce wines of the highest quality and respect for the environment.

Following our goal of producing unique and exceptional wines, we have embarked on the MACEWINE research project. Directed by Martina Prieto Pariente and supported by CDTI and FEDER funds, collaborating with VITEC, we are looking for the best maceration techniques for the Tempranillo and Garnacha varieties.

Vineyards

Los Páramos de Valladolid

The province of Valladolid contains a great viticultural diversity, with very old vineyards, examples of ancestral viticulture, low production, and great historical significance.

Two of our red wines are made with the Tempranillo and Garnacha grape varieties from old, low-yielding vineyards. Each vineyard is vinified separately, allowing us to select the most suitable blend for each of them in the winery.
