BODEGA CONVENTO SAN FRANCISCO<\/h2>\n

Bodega Convento San Francisco was founded in 1998 on the last remains of the old Franciscan convent dating back to 1265, in the town of Pe\u00f1afiel, Valladolid.
\nWe have the utmost respect for the great wine area in which we are established, the Ribera del Duero Denomination, where its native variety, Tempranillo, reaches its great expressivity due to the wide diversity of climates, soils, and location of the vineyards.<\/p>\n<\/div>

SAN FRANCISCO CONVENT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In this environment we have restored the old rooms of the convent to make them suitable for the production of high-quality wines.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

CLIMATE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The extreme climatology of the area forces us to interpret the vintage for each grape harvest. We believe that one year will never be the same as another, so we adapt our wine productions to the characteristics of the grapes we harvest each year, ensuring at all times that our wines express their origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

VITICULTURE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We develop a sustainable viticulture, respecting the land and plants, so that the grapes reach their maximum potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

VINEYARD AND MANUFACTURE<\/h2>\n

Our property includes 11 hectares certified for ecological agriculture in the municipality of Pesquera de Duero, divided into 3 plots with different soils and altitude. We also own another 2 hectares in Fuentenebro, planted in 1920 and 1940 at an altitude of 970 metres, with terraces, and sand and red clay soils with moorland and quartz stones.<\/p>\n

We also control another 25 hectares, managed by trusted viticulturists, in which a great part is old vineyard conformed by small plots located on slopes and moors of sand, clay, and limestone soils.<\/p>\n

Each plot is harvested by hand when the grapes are at their ripest, and the grapes are then transported in 15-kilo crates. All the grapes go through a double selection process: first, the bunches are assessed; after destemming, the grapes are selected individually before vatting. Each vineyard zone and plot experience the process of fermentation separately, in stainless steel tanks of different capacities, with some plots being fermented in 500-litre barrels.
\nThus, we intend to learn from the vineyards each year in order to process them in a way that expresses their typicity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

THE VINEYARDS<\/h3>\n

Our wines are produced from a great number of vineyards located along the Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero, in soils of clay, sand, and limestone that provide a unique complexity and typicity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

VARIETY<\/h3>\n

We produce our wines from our native grape variety Tempranillo, and we also manufacture white wine of the Albillo variety obtained from the oldest of our vines.<\/p>\n<\/div>
