"The historic estate in the heart of the Golden Mile. A sacred respect for the land, the passage of time, and the timeless elegance of Castilian wine."
1. Heritage and Evolution
With origins linked to the clergy in the 19th century and consolidated as a wine estate by the Sanz Cid family, Dehesa de los Canónigos is an undisputed benchmark in Pesquera de Duero. Located in the heart of the Golden Mile of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, the winery champions a philosophy where the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape and small touches of Cabernet Sauvignon or Albillo Mayor are blended with respectful aging in American and French oak, resulting in noble, approachable, and deeply rooted wines that reflect the identity of their terroir.
The estate features a unique Basque farmhouse-style architecture in the region and over 60 hectares of its own vineyards surrounded by centuries-old pine forests. The combination of limestone and clay soils with the extreme continental climate of Valladolid allows for slow grape ripening, preserving vibrant acidity and an extraordinary polyphenolic load that positions these labels among the best exponents of the Ribera del Duero.

Located in the Golden Mile, it shares viticultural borders with some of the most legendary names in Spanish wine. Its vineyards receive excellent sun exposure combined with cool nights during the ripening period, generating an impeccable natural balance between alcoholic strength and acidity.
Aging and Recommended Pairing
Aging takes place in medium-toasted American oak and French oak barrels, allowing the Tinto Fino grape to develop notes of cedar, vanilla, cocoa, and spices without losing its fruitiness.
