Celeste Crianza, DO Ribera del Duero

The winery is in the Fompedraza region, located in the mid-eastern part of the Duero River Valley, near the town of Fompedraza and the Durantón River. The vineyards in the area have gentle hills with high plateaus and narrow valleys. Celeste Crianza is made from the best parcels in Ribera del Duero, from towns at 790–900 meters above sea level. The vineyards sit atop deposits from the Upper Miocene and Quaternary periods. The predominant Upper Miocene lithology is based on grey limestone interspersed with marl, whereas the Quaternary areas are mostly composed of clay. The soils that formed on top of these materials tend to exhibit medium to fine textures and are very rich in carbonate.
