Buy Wine from Bodegas Calvo Arroyo
Bodegas Calvo Arroyo is actually a project of selected wines produced by Bodegas Arrocal and distributed by Alma Vinos Únicos. The winery is located in a Burgos, at the part of Ribera del Duero area that enjoys a coolest climate: Gumiel de Mercado, a small village crammed with historical spots where small producers made their wine mainly for their own consumption. Thanks to Moisés and Rosa, heirs of Gumiel wine making tradition, Bodegas Calvo Arroyo was founded in 1999. Originally they had only the family vineyards but soon they planted new parcels. It wasn't until 2003 when they made up their mind and built the winery, simultaneously to their first vintage.
The winery has the latest technology but they always keep in mind grape as their wine's basis, that's why all the processes are carried out by gravity, from the early selection of the berries, at the selection table, following in the large stainless steel tanks for temperature controlled fermentation, maceration process is not long and as far as pressing is concerned, it is always performed in small quantities and very smoothly. Their barrel stock is mainly French oak (about four fifths of the total) yet there is also a part of American oak.
Bodegas Calvo Arroyo produce around 160.000 bottles a year, out of their 23 vineyard hectares, most of them with Tempranillo (20 hectares) and some Cabernet Sauvignon (2 hectares) and Merlot (1 hectare). They have a special irrigation system and vines are grown on trellisses.
Their most pleasing wines are fruity Mayorazgo de Calvo Arroyo Joven and tannic yet structured Mayorazgo de Calvo Arroyo Crianza.
