Bodegas Hacienda Monasterio

Hacienda Monasterio is esteemed as one of the premier estates in Spain's Ribera del Duero wine region. Nestled near Pesquera and Valbuena del Duero villages along the renowned "Golden Mile," this estate spans 170 hectares. The Golden Mile is a highly regarded area for wine production in Ribera del Duero, known for its exceptional terroir and concentration of top-tier wineries.

Various grape types are grown here, including Tinto Fino (the local name for Tempranillo), the dominant grape in Ribera del Duero wines. The estate focuses exclusively on producing Crianza and Reserva wines. Crianza wines are aged for at least two years, with a minimum of one year in oak barrels, while Reserva wines are aged for a minimum of three years, including at least one year in oak.

The involvement of Peter Sisseck as a consultant winemaker is a significant aspect of Hacienda Monasterio's success. Sisseck, a highly respected figure in the wine industry, is best known for his work with Dominio de Pingus, another acclaimed Ribera del Duero winery. Living on the estate, Sisseck has a hands-on approach to winemaking, ensuring that every step meets his exacting standards.
