OUR PERFECT COMPANION: RIBERA DEL DUERO
An ally.
A guide along the road
- For PINEA, the northern Ribera is the natural choice for our purpose: creating signature wines that expand the territory of Ribera itself, based on love for the Tempranillo grape and respect for what this land means but with a desire to seek out new paths. Wherever our sense of direction leads us.
“Ribera del Duero gives us guidelines to respect, Tempranillo brings our heart into it. Then there’s the creativity of our wines. That’s the hallmark of PINEA.”
Vicente Pliego, Founder of Pinea

“PINEA is a project with a different style to the classical approach. Its brings a breath of fresh air, expressing the origin of our soils and parcels of land in our wines. We listen to every bit of our soil without overshadowing what nature gives us with over-ripening, excessive ageing or use of wood which would lose the grapes’ characteristics”
