Ribera wine
Wines throughout History
The Duero River has been tied to the cultivation of grapevines from time immemorial.
For the Vacceos, wine was a drink that was very much appreciated, a symbol of power with social and cultural function. The Romans popularized its consumption and introduced new techniques in grape growing and elaboration, such as the ageing, that have lasted to the present time. During the Middle Ages, with the repopulation of the reclaimed territories from the Mores, the monasteries continued with the wine producing tradition, making their own wines. The wine production from then on has undergone continual growth on the Banks of the Duero. There were difficult times, like the arrival of phylloxera to our lands although the persistence to give world class excellence to the area’s wines culminated with the creation of the Regulating Council of the Denomination for Ribera Del Duero in 1982.
From 1999, all that history has bequeathed and that the region has inherited has found its culmination in Bodegas Comenge, where we have united all of our wine producing tradition. From all of this, through our novel systems of elaboration, we obtain our wines of unquestionable quality.
