Buy Pago de los Capellanes Wines online | Great Wines Direct
The Rodero-Villa family established Pago de los Capellanes in 1996, positioned one km from Pedrosa de Duero, in the centre of the Ribera del Duero region. Pago de los Capellanes is considered by some to be the Ribera del Duero's more contemporary face.
The name, which translates to "land of the chaplains," serves as a reminder that up until the church handed it to the city council in 1855, the land was owned by chaplains.
The vineyards are separated into 35 different plots and have a 100% Tempranillo planting. Each plot is harvested independently. Depending on the style, the wines are matured between one to three years in 22 types of French wood.
From fruity, lightly oaked reds to this Reserva that will age gracefully, Pago de los Capellanes produces a variety of estate-bottled wines.
Single-vineyard Tempranillo, lustrous with black fruit, leather, roasted coffee and seductively scented with spice, sandalwood, cacao and a lick of liquorice
