Cruz de Alba is a renowned biodynamic estate located in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The estate focuses on sustainable viticulture, respecting nature and promoting balance within the vineyard ecosystem. The vines grow in sandy soils, benefiting from the unique microclimate of the region. Cruz de Alba produces high-quality wines that reflect the natural harmony of the land, combining tradition and innovation in every bottle.

In the winery, what happens in the vineyard is reflected. Fermentations were quick, filling the winery with fruity and balsamic aromas like never before. Fermentation was done at 24.5ºC, followed by 15 months in French oak barrels (one third new, one third one-year-old, and one third two-year-old), creating harmonious, elegant wines that are a true joy for the senses.

In 2021, the Filomena storm brought freezing temperatures and rare snowfalls to the area. That year was unusually cold, and we had 50 liters more rain than the typical 450 liters. Despite this, the vines budded 5 days earlier than usual, on April 29th. A warm May helped the vines grow quickly, but a hailstorm on May 30th caused damage. Treatments with valerian and basalt helped the vines recover. The grapes were harvested during the El Pilar holiday, producing grapes with balanced flavor, good acidity, and a velvety texture.
