ARLANZA & RIBERA DEL DUERO
ADRIÁN ALONSO. EL SERBAL, COVARRUBIAS, ARLANZA
This is a new and emerging project by Adrian Alonso, located in the Arlanza region, near Lerma, to the north of Burgos. Adrian is an agricultural engineer who has found his passion in viticulture and enology. 2022 marked his first vintage, and when Rafa introduced us to his 2023 wines, we knew we wanted to share his work with you. These wines are rich, austere, saline, and fresh, reflecting the challenging landscape a place defined by subtle yet extreme conditions.

AALTO BODEGAS Y VIÑEDOS, RIBERA DEL DUERO
Bodegas Aalto is one of the most innovative wine projects to emerge in Spain in recent decades. Since Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini joined forces in 1999, the winery has assembled some of the finest vineyards in Ribera del Duero, encompassing 32 hectares across three distinct sub-regions—two in the province of Valladolid and one in the province of Burgos.
These vineyards are planted with old clones of Tinto Fino, propagated through massal selection, and are farmed based on long-term agreements with the owners of the parcels. AALTO, the estate’s flagship wine, is a blend drawn from multiple municipalities. Each year, the final blend is determined by the overall character of each plot rather than by individual barrel selection, with the aim of producing a wine of balance, depth, and complexity. A small quantity of wine from the finest parcels is set aside annually to create AALTO PS (Pagos Seleccionados), representing the most exceptional expressions of the vintage.

ABADÍA DE ACÓN, RIBERA DEL DUERO
Abadía de Acón is a distinguished family-run winery situated in the heart of D.O. Ribera del Duero, in Castrillo de la Vega, Burgos. Rooted in generations of viticultural tradition, the estate combines heritage, sustainability, and modern winemaking to produce wines of elegance and character.
The winery’s architectural design integrates seamlessly with the landscape: half of the building is set into the hillside, minimising environmental impact and enabling gravity-assisted winemaking that respects both tradition and modern efficiency.

BODEGAS Y VIÑEDOS ALNARDO, RIBERA DEL DUERO
Since 2006, Peter Sisseck, winemaker of Dominio de Pingus has worked with Pablo Rubio (a former winemaker at Alonso del Yerro’s winery) to identify the vineyards and the growers with the most potential in the area. Their aim is to guide those growers step-by-step towards seeing a value in maintaining the old vines, farming in more natural way and yielding better fruit. The duo is supporting each grower with their expertise in organic and biodynamic farming, as well as experimenting with some locally sourced, natural composts known as “preparations” in biodynamic approach. The result is bottled as PSI.

DOMINIO DE PINGUS, RIBERA DEL DUERO
While other Spanish wines have achieved international recognition, Pingus is one of the very few that has joined the ranks of the world’s most iconic wines. Like Coche-Dury’s Corton- Charlemagne, Guigal’s LaLa wines, or Giacomo Conterno’s Monfortino, Pingus is known and revered wherever great wine is discussed. Just as those other esteemed names, Pingus has a quality that is often lacking in today’s “modern” wines—a sense of utter individuality. For there is no other wine in the world today, that shares Pingus’ unique signature.

QUINTA MILÚ, RIBERA DEL DUERO
Quinta Milú is the first of the three projects of our good friend and a talented winemaker Germán Blanco. It is based in the small town called La Aguilera, in the province of Burgos, the northeast of Spain. The grapes come from old “Tempranillo” vineyards, cultivated in a traditional way and with respect for the environment which surrounds them. Germán works plot by plot, almost micro winemaking in small batches, with minimum intervention, favouring gentle extraction which can be described as an infusion. The resulting wines have rare delicacy and express nuances of the Tempranillo grown on altitude up to 900 m above the sea level. There are no pre-established protocols, each harvest is unique, each wine is unique – says Germán when asked about the way he works.
