About San Cucufate Altos del Viso

Finding yourself between two worlds as different as hospitality and viticulture can’t be easy. Whilst in the first sector, one must be fast and keep up with all the latest trends, in the vineyard, what prevails above all else is patience. Antonio Vázquez Muñoz-Calero, owner of a holding company of hotels and restaurants and, at the same time, of three wineries, has to manage each of his companies at different paces. But there must surely be nothing more liberating than escaping the stressful city to rejoice in the tranquility and beauty of the vineyard. And thus, since 2016, he has undertaken an exciting project in the area of Gumiel del Mercado, in the heart of Ribera del Duero (Spain). A winery whose name San Combate honors the monastery that was built in these lands by the Benedictine monks in the 11th century (initially named San Cucufate) and where the cultivation of the vineyards has lasted until today. A privileged area of land that is reflected in each of its wines from exclusive vineyards, where tempranillo is the main protagonist.

One of these wines, San Cucufate Altos del Viso, is a limited production that was born on the Altos del Viso property. A 1.3 hectare vineyard located at 910 meters above sea level, whose clay and limestone soils provide an exceptional combination of fruit and chalk. The tempranillo grapes are grown in a traditional manner and, thanks to its location in a calcareous area, give excellent salinity to very small bunches of grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand in 15-kilogram boxes and the bunches are selected in the winery before destemming. Fermentation is carried out with 15% of the stems and naturally occurring yeasts in concrete tanks. Finally, the wine is aged for 8 to 10 months in used barrels and a further 6 to 8 months in large oak vats.

Giving maximum prominence to fruit and terroir, and with a discreet secondary role for oak, San Cucufate Altos del Viso is a wine that returns to its origins. A reunion with the past where patience and respect are the order of the day.
