The Winery

Legaris is one of the D.O. Ribera del Duero's flagship wineries. An innovative winery, it offers boutique, artisan wines made in a modern way. Legaris lies in a privileged location, enjoying the D.O. Ribera del Duero's unique and exclusive climate. The origin of its wines, the great wealth and variety of its soils, high quality raw materials and very careful winemaking combine to ensure that the wines from Legaris express and extol the unique character of the area.

Elaboration - Vinification

The grapes as quickly taken to the winery to ensure their qualities are preserved.

The grapes as quickly taken to the winery to ensure their qualities are preserved. The clusters are destemmed and the whole grapes taken to stainless steel tank, where they are vinified separately by provenance. We subject the grapes to a cold soak at 10 °C for 3-4 days in order to extract aromas and colour and then allow the temperature to gradually rise. Alcoholic fermentation is allowed to start spontaneously and the grapes’ own yeasts are used to express the typicity of the different terroirs. Fermentation temperatures range from 26 to 28 °C. The wine is devatted 14-16 days after vatting on average. Average barrel ageing is 12 months in bordelais barrels, 50% of which are French fine-grained oak and 50% American oak, in both cases, using 20% new barrels. In order to increase the complexity of our Legaris Crianza, the final blend of this vintage includes wines aged in barrels from 22 different coopers. This wine has been vinified employing natural methods without cold stabilisation so some sediment may appear in the bottle.

Vineyard - Viticulture

Legaris Crianza express the singularity and complexity of Ribera del Duero.

The grape varieties used to make this wine were 90% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. In our Legaris Crianza we want to express the singularity and complexity of Ribera del Duero.
To this purpose, we have selected different vineyards in several areas:
- Pesquera de Duero, Valbuena de Duero, Manzanillo, Mélida and Peñafiel in the province of Valladolid, at altitudes between 750 and 880 metres above sea level, where lighter soils prevail, giving rise to more aromatic wines.
- Roa, La Horra, Hontoria de Valdearados, Valdeande, Villalbilla de Gumiel, Fuentenebro, Boada de Roa, Moradillo of Roa, Olmedillo de Roa in the province of Burgos, at altitudes between 810 and 970 metres above sea level, where the soils are clay-limestone, giving our wines structure and power. We also have estate-owned vineyards (93 ha) in Curiel de Duero (Valladolid) and San Martín de Rubiales (Burgos).
