About Finca Villacreces

Finca Villacreces is a red wine from the DO. Ribera del Duero crafted by Finca Villacreces.

The winery is part of Artevino Family Wineries, proprietors of several wineries across different Spanish D.O.s, such as Bodega Izadi in La Rioja and Vetus in Toro.
In this instance, the winery Finca Villacreces was established in 2004 when the Grupo Artevino acquired the estate that would lend its name to their Ribera del Duero winery. Finca Villacreces is regarded as one of the most spectacular estates in the D.O.

The red wine Finca Villacreces, which shares its name with both the estate and the winery, is a blend of the tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot grape varieties.

The grapes are sourced from a selection of the lowest-yielding plots within a 64-hectare vineyard located in Quintanilla de Onésimo, right in the heart of the Golden Mile, a viticultural strip renowned for the quantity and quality of its wineries and wines.

The harvest is conducted entirely by hand in 15kg boxes during the second and third weeks of October. Upon arrival at the winery, a meticulous selection of the bunches is performed first, followed by the individual grapes.

For its production, after a thorough destemming of the grapes, a traditional fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.

Finally, Finca Villacreces undergoes 12 months of ageing in fine-grain French oak barrels (Darnajou and Taransaud).

Finca Villacreces is the elder sibling of Finca Villacreces Pruno, deemed one of the finest Spanish wines ever for under 20 euros according to Robert Parker.
