Quality wines with a geographical description is a quality category introduced under the wine and vineyard law 24/2003, of the 10th July, and includes wines produced in a certain area using grapes from that area. The quality, reputation or characteristics of these grapes are directly linked to the area’s geography, to its human factor or to both with regards to grape production, wine-making or wine-ageing.
Quality Wines with a Geographical Description is the first level established for those quality wines produced in a specified area (V.C.P.R.D.).Since July 27th 2007, our wines are designated as “Denominación de Origen Arribes”.Historical BackgroundVineyards have been present in “Arribes del Duero” since ancient times, to the extent that it is thought that the area could include some of the first and most ancient vineyards in the Duero Basin. There are two theories being studied regarding this: one which links the arrival of vineyards to the Duero during Roman colonization, and another which links it at much earlier period to the trade routes used by the Phoenicians and to the natural port formed where the Duero reaches the sea (the current day Portuguese town of Port).
