Producer Profile
Estancia Piedra was born from a family dream, a family who wanted to turn their passion into reality: to produce excellent quality wines.
The vineyard was planted in 1968, and is the largest parcel of old vines in the Toro D.O. The Estancia Piedra team of highly qualified professionals ensure that their passion for wine is reflected every day in a quality product, a wine that represents the character of the Duero region.

Piedra wines have been created to delight the senses, to celebrate life and friendship.
With a wide range in continuous expansion, these wines adapt to the tastes of a wide variety of palates. From young and natural wines made without sulphites or any additive treatment, to wines that appreciate the value of time and maturity, which express the best of a very old vineyard in the Toro region – “Wines proud of their origin.”
Viticulture
This wine is made with grapes from the oldest vineyard, PAREDINAS, which was planted in 1927 with the typical “tresbolillo” formation (staggered). The vineyard was planted on a hillside. The soil is deep and poor, which makes the vines reach the perfect balance with the environment.
Winemaking
Handpicked during the first week in October with strict quality control at the winery. The winemaking of our Estate Wine is done with the utmost care and respect for the grapes. Fermented in 5,000lt stainless steel tanks, with maturation on lees for 24 months in French oak barrels and a further 12 months in bottle prior to release.
