Buy Wine from Dehesa de los Canónigos
In the rolling landscapes of the Ribera del Duero, following the course of the majestic Duero River, lies Dehesa de los Canónigos, a winery that holds in every corner more than two centuries of history and tradition. This place is not just a winery, it is a true refuge where land and passion intertwine, where the love of wine has been passed down like a family treasure, generation after generation. Located in Pesquera de Duero, this winery embraces the hills that outline the landscape and envelops us in an atmosphere that seems to tell us secrets of the past.
Vineyards
The Dehesa de los Canónigos vineyards are spread over 70 hectares that look like a real garden designed by nature for the cultivation of vines. Each plot has its own personality, and walking through them is like meeting up with old friends, each with its own memories and experiences, each with its own history and character. The microclimate of Ribera del Duero, with its marked thermal oscillations between day and night, gives the grapes that special touch, a ripening that combines freshness and concentration of flavours. Here, Tempranillo (or Tinta Fina), Cabernet Sauvignon and Albillo Mayor are cultivated with care, and each brings something unique to our wines.
The terroir is a fascinating mix of clay-limestone soils, with a layer of gravels that act as a natural drainage system, perfect for keeping the roots healthy and strong. And then there is the climate: cold winters, hot summers... a real challenge that, in the end, makes the grapes grow stronger and give their best. But what excites us most about the winery is its commitment to sustainability. Here, viticulture is not just an agricultural activity, it is almost a ritual, a dance with nature. They use respectful techniques that prioritise biodiversity and care for the vitality of the soil, ensuring that each year, the harvest is a true reflection of the environment in which it is born.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the winery at Dehesa de los Canónigos can be felt in every corner of the winery and in every sip of wine: respect for tradition, love for excellence and a constant curiosity to improve. It is exciting to see how they have managed to maintain the spirit of our ancestors, fusing the artisanal methods they learned from their elders with the innovations that allow us to reach new heights of quality. For them, winemaking is not just a job, it is a way of life, an art that they cultivate with passion and dedication.
The process begins with a manual harvest, where each cluster is carefully selected. There is no hurry here, only the determination to pick the grapes at their exact point of ripeness, ensuring that each one brings the best of itself. Afterwards, the grapes are destemmed and fermentation begins, where every detail counts: temperature, time... everything is designed to preserve those wonderful fruity aromas and freshness that characterise our wines. Then, the wine rests in American and French oak barrels, where the magic happens: it acquires complexity, elegance, and those spicy notes, with subtle hints of vanilla and cocoa that invite you to close your eyes and enjoy the experience.
The winery's leitmotiv is simple but powerful: to create wines that are an honest reflection of the landscape and history of Ribera del Duero. Each bottle is a time capsule, a bottled story that speaks of passion, respect for the land and a job well done. When you uncork one of these bottles, you are opening a door to the Ribera, feeling the soul of the region with every sip. Dehesa de los Canónigos wines achieve something special: they balance power with elegance, and invite us to stop, to enjoy, to connect with the land and with the people who, with so much love, have made this experience possible.
