Description

Discover the red wine Alvar de Dios Camino de los Arrieros, an oenological gem from the rugged and fascinating region of Arribes del Duero in Castilla y León. Crafted by the talented winemaker Álvar de Dios Hernández, this “village wine” pays tribute to the historic transhumance routes of Villadepera. Born from century-old vineyards planted at over 750 meters above sea level on granite and slate soils, this red is a field blend that revives nearly forgotten native varieties such as Juan García, Rufete, Trincadeira, Bastardo, and Mandón.

Its vinification is a hymn to minimal intervention: fermentation with indigenous yeasts, use of whole clusters, and delicate aging in large-format French oak barrels that fully respect the purity of the fruit. This wine not only represents the recovery of Zamora’s viticultural heritage, but also stands as a benchmark for collectors and enthusiasts of natural and biodynamic wines. Its low alcohol content and ethereal profile bring it closer to the style of the great wines of Gredos or Burgundy, yet with the unmistakable identity of Arribes.
