La Ribera Blanca, Albillo Mayor
This white grape is actually an historical reference of the Ribera Region, its vestige remount up to the antiquity. Since 2019 this autochthonous and centenary grape has found a place in the Ribera del Duero turning into one of the principal variety reference, as a result of some personal winemakers challenge. There are only 500 cultivables hectares of Albillo Mayor from the whole 23.000 registered in the Ribera del Duero D.O. and most of them are centenarian grapes.
Nowdays we are one of the fewer winemakers who only elaborate white winemaking, assuming that this type of elaboration is completely different from the red winemaking of the ribera region, with three differents whites types.

For us this project is the most enthusiastic, from those Albillo area of more than 60 years, and the most we have liked previous years ago. we first cut sticks of the vine and took them to our hatchery who convert them into plants.then those plants are clasified in our vineyard taking the mane of the place or the village where the stick has been cut. by this way we obtain in the same land in hoyales de roa, vines of differents area and villages of ribera region. therefore, we achieve a micro-vinification with its own yeast. the fermentation process in barrel last during 12 months, with a continuing batonage during the aging. it is a well balanced and a powerfull delighted white wine.
