Bodega Vivaltus

The vineyards here are among the highest in Ribera del Duero, up to 1,000 meters above sea level. The vines are 80 years of age on average, although some are more than a century old. They grow mostly Tempranillo here, with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot making up the balance. In the winery, Jean-Claude uses minimal new oak – starkly contrasting many top wines in the region.
