Pago del Cielo
Celeste Reserva, DO Ribera del Duero
Celeste Reserva is born 895 meters (2,937 feet) above sea level, where the vines and the sky form a magical connection, resulting in a wine filled with the freshness, emotion, and intensity of a starry night. Perfectly ripened, estate grown Tinto Fino is harvested from up to 80-year old vines, grown at peak altitudes of 3,000ft in the Peñafiel region.
This wine is produced, primarily, from estate-owned vineyards of 40+-year-old vines planted in calcareous-soil slopes in the highest zones of the DO: Fompedraza, Canalejas de Peñafiel, and Pesquera.

The wine has an majestic and dark garnet color. Serious and intense on first impression, the nose opens up in the glass to reveal fruit aromas of blackberry jam and black cherries. These are joined by warm notes of spices such as clove and oak, cedar and incense. The palate is light, silky, supple, and savory.

"A juicy and fine-grained wine that’s all about balance. Good complexity without overworking ripeness, extraction or wood. Rather vibrant and fresh, with texture and balance on the medium-bodied palate. Solid, lengthy finish."
— Zekun Shuai, 2025
