Link profile: D.O. Ribera del Duero

Category: Start / Spain and its Regions / Old Castile and León (Castilla-León) / Ribera del Duero
The Ribera del Duero wine region (Ribera del Duero is also a county in the province of Burgos) stretches along the banks of the Duero as it flows through a goodly part of Castile and León, from the province of Soria through the south of Burgos (taking in areas in the north of Segovia), all the way to Valladolid. It is not a place you would immediately associate with wine-making, having the typical continental climate of the northern meseta, with blisteringly hot, dry summers and extremely cold, harsh winters, but it is also a Mediterranean climate: it receives nearly 2,500 hours of sunlight a year, has low to moderate rainfall, and vines love it. It is the second-best known wine region in Spain after La Rioja and its famous Golden Mile is lined by some of the greatest bodegas in the country, including the reputed (and astronomically expensive) Vega Sicilia. Its main towns are San Esteban de Gormaz in Soria, Aranda de Duero and Roa (where the D.O.'s regulatory board is based) in Burgos, and Peñafiel and Quintanilla de Onésimo in Valladolid. The link goes to the sumptuous, highly informative and beautifully made website of the D.O.'s regulatory board.
