Nestled in Spain's renowned Ribera del Duero wine region, Bodegas Tamaral has been crafting exceptional wines since 1997. Founded by the De Santiago family, who have deep roots in the wine industry spanning four generations, the winery's mission is to produce wines of the highest international quality. Situated along Ribera del Duero's "Golden Mile" near Peñafiel, Bodegas Tamaral benefits from the region's unique location by the Duero River, with ideal continental climate conditions and an elevation of 900 meters. The vineyard’s poor soils and excellent drainage yield limited but high-quality harvests, primarily of the Tempranillo grape, known locally as "Tinta del Pais." Tamaral's meticulous winemaking process, from hand-harvesting to aging in French and American oak barrels, results in wines of remarkable complexity and longevity. The portfolio includes six wines, with highlights like the fresh and aromatic "Tamaral Crianza" and the "Tamaral Finca La Mira," produced only in exceptional vintages to showcase the region's terroir.
