From the heart of the Ribera del DueroA project. A passion
Piedras de San Pedro is a winery with family origins, heir to all the wisdom of our parents and grandparents when it comes to making great wines.
That idea is what continues to mark us, even today, in our daily work. We want each of our wines to vividly uncover the viticultural tradition of this land and the absolute essence of Ribera del Duero.
Dedicated to those who taught us how to create an exceptional wine

IN THE HEART OF THE GOLDEN MILE OF THE RIBERA DEL DUEROThe environment
Pesquera de Duero is, without a doubt, the epicenter of the great emblematic wines of Ribera del Duero. A land that offers unparalleled conditions for the Tempranillo to express all the potential it carries within. Dry and hot summers, long and demanding winters and a unique terroir due to the composition of its soils characterize these wines and this area as one of the best wine producers in existence.
IntroducingGrapes
Tempranillo
The grape par excellence of the Ribera del Duero. Unique because it is different, because it is special, because here it adopts sublime characteristics for the production of high expression red wines.
All our red wines are monovarietal, 100% Tempranillo, from selected hawthorns. Limestone, rocky soils, located in some of the best plots of the Ribera del Duero, composing an unparalleled terroir for the production of this grape variety.
Verdejo
The Verdejo grape is a white grape, perhaps one of the most expressive, typical and native to the vineyard around the Duero. Extraordinarily fresh and aromatic fruit, it has become the queen of national whites. From these grapes we obtain aromatic, intense and fruity, herbaceous wines, different in the world of whites. That personality captivated us and that is why we incorporated her to work with her on a truly exceptional wine.
Winemakersthe story behind the wine
On fine-weather afternoons, it was common for friends to get together next to the hermitage of San Pedro, on top of the hill pierced by hundreds of wineries, to share a snack and, above all, a jug of wine. They sat on some huge stones with exceptional views of the Duero river, they were the “Stones of San Pedro”. They were moments of enjoyment, encounters, friends and everything united by wine.
The essence of those moments still lives in each of these bottles of wine, that is why we want to thank you and welcome this gang of friends who continue to get together to enjoy the Piedras de San Pedro.
There is more philosophy and wisdom in a bottle of wine than in all the books. LOUIS PASTEUR
