Pago del Cielo Story
Pago del Cielo Winery, founded by the Torres family in 2004, spans the prestigious regions of Ribera del Duero and Rueda. With a focus on crafting modern, elegant wines, the winery benefits from high-altitude vineyards in Ribera del Duero that enhance the aromatic intensity of their reds. In Rueda, the estate vineyards on the banks of the Duero River have unique alluvial soils which highlight the expressiveness of their Verdejo.

Biographies
Rueda & Ribera del Duero
Rueda is renowned for its crisp, aromatic white wines made primarily from the Verdejo grape, offering vibrant citrus and herbal notes. Just to the south, Ribera del Duero specializes in bold, age-worthy red wines crafted mainly from Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto Fino. Though close in geography, the two regions showcase distinct expressions of Spanish winemaking—Rueda for refreshing whites and Ribera for powerful reds.
