About Vega Clara
Vega Clara bezit 12 hectare aan wijngaarden. De bodega situeert zich zo'n 30 km ten Oosten van Valladolid. Alle wijngaarden bevinden zich in het dorp Quintanilla de Onésimo, in de beroemde Golden Mile van de Ribera de Duero. De wijngaarden van Vega Clara zijn verdeeld in twee verschillende stukken land, gelegen in het tegenovergestelde deel van het dorp en bevinden zich op 720 en 800 m boven de zeespiegel. In totaal worden drie blauwe druivensoorten geteeld die zorgen voor wijnen met geweldige aroma's.
