TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Variety: 100% Verdejo.
Vineyards: Wine selected from different plots of our own vineyards, located in the town of Matapozuelos, between the rivers Adaja and Eresma, at an altitude of 730 meters. The terroir is sandy, poor in organic matter and little water resources. This makes the grapes small in size, thus concentrating their flavor, and with a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity.
Elaboration: Periodic ripening controls from the beginning of September until the optimum ripening point for harvest is reached. Night harvest, to obtain the best temperature conditions and thus avoid oxidation naturally. Our plots are very close to the winery so the grapes hardly spend time in the trailer. Cold prefermentative maceration for maximum aroma extraction. Soft pressing with pneumatic lung press to obtain the must and subsequent static cold soak at 8ºC. Slow fermentation at low temperatures and time on lees, to conserve the most intense fruit aromas. Finally, a blend of the different plots is made, clarified, and a light filtering is carried out prior to bottling.
The story of the Winery started in 1995 in Ribera del Duero. It all started in the 15th century historic underground cavern below the restaurant El Lagar de Isilla in Aranda de Duero. There, at depth of 12 metres, the Zapatero Pinto family elaborated the first 50,000 bottles of wine which today serves as a reference for the 250,000 bottles now produced annually.
The success of the wines produced by Lagar de Isilla made the Zapatero Pinto family think about opening a new winery. The Enological Complex in La Vid was then constructed on a block of land with a colonial building dating from 1890. First the winery was constructed, the gourmet shop and then the hotel and last the Spa.
In recognition of their work, the Zapatero Pinto family have been awarded by the organization Rutas de Vino de España, the Award for Enotourism Merit.
The winery is part of the old building and has been constructed using materials from the period such as wood and stone. It consists of five warehouses and a social area with offices, a wine tasting room and a porch decorated with farmyard tools and tables typical from La Ribera del Duero.
Next to the winery also within the colonial block you will find The Boutique Hotel **** and its restaurant La Casona de La Vid, where you can enjoy our wines accompanied by the best products from the area.
