Unbelievable- what a wine for this price. This Pruno from Finca Villacreces is still young but still has a lot of potential for the coming years. Time and time again, this beautiful wine scores very high with the international wine press and Finca Villacreces has proven to be able to produce consistent quality year-in-year-out. Parker comments in his review: "WOW- normally a wine like this costs between $75-150!!!" and talks about "over-delivering" The total surface of the vineyard of 60 ha was used in the past for half by Peter Sisseck in his assembly of the Flor de Pingus. This Pruno is therefore an incredible wine for its price. The Pruno is a sensational wine.
GOOD FACT: The winery and vineyards are located next to those of Vega Sicilia and the fruit from this vineyard was used in the past by Peter Sisseck in his Flor de Pingus
The Finca Villacreces is an old abbey located on the "Golden Mile" along the river Duero in the appellation of origin Ribera del Duero in Spain. The total area of the estate is 115 hectares, of which 60 hectares are vineyards. These 60 hectares are spread over 15 different plots that all contribute to the quality of the wines on this impressive domain. The sandy terroir and the high location of the vineyards do not make it any easier to get the planted grapes tinta del pais (tempranillo), merlot and cabernet sauvignon ripe. The more than 100-year-old pine trees do contribute to a microclimate in which the grapes feel good and the harvests have been of an exceptionally high level, especially in recent years. Due to the high altitude, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular have a very difficult time ripening here. In recent years, a lot has been invested in the vineyards: drip irrigation, the sticks are tied higher to get more leaves and thus better photosynthesis and the young plantings of the newest vineyards already give an unprecedented quality of fruit. Grapes are only harvested here at optimum ripeness, resulting in beautifully concentrated wines with a fine acidity. All wines from Finca Villacreces undergo malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Depending on the wine, the lagering on cask is determined. Of course, the harvest year also has an influence on this and the standard is deviated from. Pruno is aged for 12 months, Reserva is aged for 16 months and the Nebro is aged for 18 months. After bottling, the bottles remain in the cellar for a long time before being put on the market. For the Pruno this is shorter than for the other wines.
The Pruno is a Crianza quality level, coming from vineyards with an age of 10 to 20 years. Deep red colored wine with seductive fruit scents that blossom after some rolling in the glass. The scents are an interplay of sunny red currant, cherry, a toasty accent and some licorice. Tension and filling in the taste onset with a firm but ripe portion of tannin. Meaty whole that still reflects his youth. The juicy acidity is not out of place with this fruit-driven style. Very persistent wine with body that does not deny its origin.
FACT: In the Tab: Appendix you will find the official fact sheet of this fine wine. We will automatically send it to you when you order this wine. The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount.

The winery Finca Villacreces is located in a beautiful area. The winery is located right next to Duero, next to the well-known Vega Sicilia. The winery has 115 hectares of estate, of which 60 hectares are vineyards. The 60 hectares of vineyards are spread over 15 different places, all of which contribute to the quality of these delicious wines. Because the area is very sandy and the location of the vineyards is high, it is not easy to get certain grapes ripe. However, the pine trees that are more than 100 years old do cooperate for the grapes that are difficult to ripen.
The climate is extremely different, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees, but also drop to 10 degrees below zero. The nearby river; de Duero, ensures that the grapes survive the warm climate. Finca Villacreses is a very popular winery partly because of the Pruno wine which offers an unprecedented beautiful glass of wine for the money. The fact that it has been repeatedly named best value wine by the Wine Advocate naturally also helps. Other highly recommended wines are the Finca Villacres wine and the cult wine Nebro (the latter two are only made in good years).
The Finca Villacreces is an old abbey located on the “Golden Mile” along the river Duero in the designation of origin Ribera del Duero in Spain.
THE TERROIR: The total area of the estate is 115 hectares, of which 60 hectares are vineyards. This 60 hectare is spread over 15 different plots, all of which contribute to the quality of the wines in this impressive domain. The sandy soil and the high location of the vineyards do not make it easier to ripen the planted grapes tinta del païs (tempranillo), merlot and cabernet sauvignon. The more than 100 years old pine trees do contribute to a microclimate in which the grapes feel good and the harvests are of an exceptionally high level in recent years.
FROM STICK TO HARVEST: Due to the high location, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular have a very hard time ripening. In recent years, a lot has been invested in the vineyards: drip irrigation, the sticks are tied up higher to get more leaf and so better photosynthesis and the young plantings of the newest vineyards are already producing unprecedented quality fruit.
FROM HARVEST TO WINE: Only at optimal maturity are grapes harvested here, resulting in beautifully concentrated wines with a fine acidity. All Finca Villacreces wines undergo malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Depending on the wine, the aging is determined on casks. Of course, the harvest year also influences this and there is a deviation from the standard. Pruno is aged for 12 months, Reserva for 16 months and Nebro for 18 months. After bottling, the bottles remain in the cellar for a long time before being put on the market. This is shorter for the Pruno than for the other wines.
