Bodegas Arrocal owners, are husband-and-wife-team Rosa and Moises, both come from long lines of vineyard owners, and are certainly putting their inheritance to good use. Having taken great care in the vineyard, they then gently coax the maximum potential from the grapes from the moment they enter the new winery.

Currently they have 15 hectares: twelve with Tempranillo, two with Cabernet Sauvignon and one with Merlot. Their vineyard enjoys special controls by area, with irrigation and fertilizer-irrigation systems, controlled by bores placed in different depths. They try to obtain better exposure with “high esperalda” system, taking full advantage of the lands climate. The winery has the latest technical developments, but above all it has been designed with one aim: to cherish their great treasure, their grapes.

Arrocal 2004 - Ribera del Duero D.O.

This excellent Arrocal is a deep ruby/purple tinged effort boasting a sweet nose of plums, black cherries and currants, a medium to full-bodied, silky smooth style, and a hint of barrique. Lusciously fruity, opulent and hedonistically satisfying. Very fruit-driven.

Arrocal Selección 2003 - Ribera del Duero D.O.

A profound, dense ruby/purple colored effort; it demonstrates what old vines, low yields, and impeccable winemaking can achieve in a favoured terrain. A cascade of blackberry, cassis, smoke, roasted coffee, and hints of liquorice and new saddle leather. Beautifully textured and ripe. It is a wine of tremendous uplift, nuances, concentration, and tannin.

Neo 2003 - Ribera del Duero D.O.

Neo spent 15 months in new French oak and one year in old American barrels. Its opaque purple colour is followed by sensual aromas of espresso roast, white chocolate, crème de cassis, graphite and tobacco. Dense, full-bodied, and layered with superb concentration, terrific purity and a long opulent finish.
