DO Ribera del Duero. Our flagship wine. Available in very limited quantities only released when the harvest is particularly high quality. Exclusively produced from areas of the vineyard over 70 years old lovingly cared for by our technical department throughout the year. The perfect synthesis of sophistication and balance. The wine is fermented in a foudre made of French oak before being aged in an all-new French oak barrel for at least 20 months. Velvety and mid-bodied, its impact is made by its rounded tannins and ripe fruit. Grape: Tempranillo. Different formats: 750 ml and 1500 ml.

BODEGAS CARRAMIMBRE was created in 1997 by 3 friends born in Peñafiel. One of them was a winelover who worked for years with several wineries. Friends and family both are now part of this adventure.

The cellar is situated in “the Golden Mile” of DO Ribera del Duero, in a small village called Peñafiel. The special soils (limestone with a deep layer of clay), that were the channel of the Duero river thousands of years ago, are taken as an advantage by our vineyards to produce grapes with the aromas and the typical flavours of the grape Tinta del País (known as well as Tempranillo).

CARRAMIMBRE means “wicker path” in ancient Spanish, is the name of one of our vineyards situated at the bottom of a short hill, where an ancient castle still stands. Some of the vines here are as old as 80 years old.The care of our own vines, planted in slopes faced to the south, is controlled by Gregorio Navarro and German Medrano (oenologists) and six of us with full dedication to these vineyard tasks. The low yield per hectare due to the crop thinning, green pruning and harvest by hand, allow us to get the character of our autochthonous Tinta del País and enough concentration to let the wines sleep in American and French oak barrels for long time, maintaining the fruity aromas still alive.

You can recognize the different styles of wine by the rings in our logo (the bottom of three barrels).We have a wide portfolio of wines: four elegant wines from DO Ribera del Duero (Oak, Crianza, Reserva and Limited Edition) and one Rueda wine (100% Verdejo). We have a new product this year: Carramimbre Rosé 2021 from DO Cigales. Some of our red wines are made from Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, which give us a difference with other wines from DO Ribera del Duero. Since CARRAMIMBRE wines were born, the quality has been increased vintage by vintage and have received several awards in Spain and abroad to certify day by day the quality of our wines.
