About us

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

Our winery was born from the passion of siblings Martina and Ignacio Prieto Parientemembers of the winemaking Pariente family – to embark on a wine project with a highly personal style. Their goal has always been to create distinctive wines that offer a unique character, a profile of freshness, and complexity.

For two years, they embarked on a journey to find old and exceptional vineyards , from the province of Valladolid along the Duero River to the mineral-rich slopes of the Sierra de Gredos, in some cases rescuing century-old vineyards that were about to be uprooted.

The style was clear from the beginning: “Wines that express the uniqueness of each soil and climate through delicate winemaking. We firmly believe in sustainable viticulture and respect for our roots.”

Winemaking

Tradition, sustainable viticulture, and respect for our roots.

Realizamos una vendimia manual de todos nuestros viñedos, con una primera selección de uva en el campo. A su llegada a la bodega, la uva reposa en cámara frigorífica durante unas horas, con el fin de alcanzar la temperatura óptima de cara a su elaboración.

Tras una segunda selección manual en mesa, uva por uva, ésta se traslada por gravedad a los depósitos de fermentación, de 2.500L de capacidad, permitiéndonos realizar una vinificación por parcela. Optamos por fermentaciones espontáneas, prensados ligeros y de pie, maceraciones largas y ligeras extracciones. Las crianzas, entre 12 y 18 meses, se realizan en barricas de roble francés, foudres, demi muits y depósitos ovalados de hormigón.

Innovation

La firme apuesta por el I+D+i nos permite trabajar en una constante búsqueda de nuevas formas de elaboración y de mejoras en nuestras prácticas vitivinícolas. El objetivo final es elaborar vinos con la máxima calidad y respeto hacia el medioambiente.

Siguiendo nuestra meta de elaborar vinos únicos y excepcionales, nos hemos embarcado en el proyecto de investigación MACEWINE. Dirigido por Martina Prieto Pariente y apoyado por el CDTI y los fondos FEDER, colaborando con VITEC, buscamos en él las mejores técnicas de maceración de las variedades Tempranillo y Garnacha.

Vineyards

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.
