Pago de Carraovejas Winery
Pago de Carraovejas is more than a winery—it is a benchmark of excellence in the prestigious Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Founded in 1988 by a group of visionary individuals, the estate has quickly risen to become one of the most respected names in Spanish winemaking. Nestled in the heart of Ribera del Duero, Pago de Carraovejas has established itself as a champion of both tradition and innovation, producing wines that reflect the soul of the region—rich, bold, and beautifully balanced.
The vineyards of Pago de Carraovejas are located on the rolling hillsides of the Duero River, where the combination of the continental climate and the unique terroir creates ideal conditions for growing Tempranillo, the region’s signature grape. The estate spans over 100 hectares of carefully tended vines, where the land’s diverse soils and microclimates ensure that every vintage is a true expression of the environment. From high altitudes that bring cool nights to hot summer days, to the rocky soils that promote deep root systems, the vineyard’s location is a key component in crafting wines that are both intense and refined.
Pago de Carraovejas is known for its commitment to quality in every step of the winemaking process. The estate’s wines are produced with meticulous care, combining both traditional methods and modern techniques to create wines that are complex, expressive, and age-worthy. The estate’s flagship wine, the Pago de Carraovejas Crianza, is a stunning example of Ribera del Duero at its best—intensely aromatic, with dark fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. Their more premium offerings, such as the Pago de Carraovejas Reserva, are aged for extended periods in French and American oak, allowing the wines to develop layers of complexity, elegance, and depth.
What sets Pago de Carraovejas apart is not just the quality of the wines, but their unwavering focus on sustainability and innovation. The estate has invested in cutting-edge technologies and sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the land is cared for and preserved for future generations. Their commitment to excellence extends to their winemaking facility, where every aspect of production is carefully controlled to ensure the highest standards of quality.
The history of Pago de Carraovejas is one of passion and perseverance. Founded by individuals who saw the potential of the Ribera del Duero region, the winery has grown from a small, family-run estate to a world-renowned name in Spanish wine.
