Notes from Jose Pastor Selections:

"From the organically farmed Los Quemados vineyard of 56-year-old vines planted on red sands with pebbles. At 960m above sea level this is one of the highest vineyards in Ribera del Duero.

Goyo Garcia Viadero, son of a prominent Ribera del Duero winemaking family, has been crafting iconoclastic naturally made Ribera del Duero wines under his own name since 2008. With the help of his wife Diana, Goyo farms old head-pruned parcels, working them organically. The goal each year is to harvest the grapes for good acidity first, in contrast to many producers in the region who are looking for phenolic maturity above all. Goyo’s three Ribera del Duero vineyards are located around the town of Roa in the heart of the appellation, which is known for having many old vine parcels at the highest elevations and with the best soils for quality wine production in the region."
