YEARS OF WINE-MAKING TRADITION

Picón de Zurita is a vineyard of old clones with loamy, sandy soils and alluvial topsoil, and an extreme climate due to its high altitude of 750 metres. It is a flat plot with a vineyard that is over 100 years old, which perfectly regulates its production and expresses its terroir. It is one of the oldest plots that winemaker and entrepreneur Carlos Moro has in the Ribera del Duero.

The grapes from this vineyard are carefully tended by hand, undergo a triple selection of bunches and berries using an artificial vision system, and undergo alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks before undergoing malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
