Winery

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.

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.
