Sierra de Salamanca PDO
The Sierra de Salamanca Protected Designation of Origin is located in the southwest of the province of Salamanca, within the Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Natural Park. It is a unique wine-growing area, characterized by its mountain vineyards cultivated on terraces with slate soils at high altitude.
The indigenous and flagship grape variety of the appellation is Rufete, a delicate and expressive grape that produces elegant, fresh wines with a pronounced minerality. This variety, combined with a unique natural environment and traditional, manual viticulture, yields wines with their own distinct personality and great authenticity.
The vineyards, many of them centuries old, are located on small, hard-to-reach plots, making cultivation a heroic feat of viticulture. The result is limited-production wines, deeply rooted in the terroir and increasingly valued by those seeking honest, unique, and distinctive wines.
