Joes de las Heras

At 900 metres above sea level — well above Ribera del Duero's already high average — Montelaguna produces wines of exceptional freshness and structure from pesticide-free vineyards founded in 2005 by José de las Heras and the well-known consultant Juan Ayuso. The altitude gives a decisive quality advantage in a region where many producers struggle with over-ripeness at lower elevations.
