ARROCAL El Colorado Plot 2024

Description

Arrocal Parcela El Colorado 2024 is one of the parcel wines from Bodegas Arrocal, the family project of brothers Asier and Rodrigo Calvo in Gumiel de Mercado (Burgos), in the Ribera del Duero DO. Made using organic methods, it received 96 points from James Suckling.

The winery's history began in 1999, when Moisés Calvo and Rosa Arroyo decided to restore the family vineyards; in 2003, they built their own winery. Their sons, trained in wine regions such as Oregon (United States) and Umbria (Italy), have been the technical managers since 2019 and have completely transformed Arrocal's viticulture and winemaking: soil study and characterization, parcel classification, and field blending, which is typical of Gumiel de Mercado, in addition to the restoration of old vineyards and local varieties.

Arrocal's parcel wines come from a specific place, with minimal intervention and the aim of expressing the character of the vineyard: a fresh, precise Ribera del Duero with its own identity.
