Páramo de Corcos

The Páramo de Corcos region is the most surprising and at the same time, unknown region of Ribera. Ten thousand hectares of flat landscape, where only the bravest know how to work the land in extreme conditions throughout the year.

A place where the cold shrinks the bones, the wind cuts the flesh and the sun burns the skin.

The Páramo reflects the sweat, fear and strength of the people who cultivate a land where the most sought after grape of the entire denomination can be found.

The winemaker

When we created Bardos, we had the option of settling in the prestigious Golden Mile, as big wineries do, or complicating our lives and settling in the coldest, highest and most difficult area of the entire denomination. We chose the second option for a reason, if we wanted to make a daring wine we would need to be surrounded by daring people.

And the result has made it worthwhile. A collection that reflects the perfect balance between power and finesse, between complexity and intensity. Four elegant, fine tannin, very fresh wines.

 

Wines with structure and personality but with sweet tannin and a fruity character.

 

The De Bardos wines, handcrafted from some of the oldest vineyards in the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin, reflect the personality of the Castilian landscape and climate, always respectful of the fruit they are made from, achieving an elegance and a finesse rarely found in wines from this area.
