HISTORY
Our winery is called Territorio Luthier because for us a luthier, the person who makes musical instruments, is like a winemaker. Both are craftsmen who seek to make a masterpiece that lasts over time.
We have been making wines in the most natural way possible for more than 10 years, seeking harmony, finesse, elegance and balance, just like luthiers.
There are many satisfactions that our wines have given us, such as having been chosen for their menus by the most prestigious restaurants in our country, such as the three restaurants with three Michelin stars in San Sebastian or that our white albillo 2018 has already toured several events by the hand of the Regulatory Council, as one of the representatives of the whites of Ribera del Duero, without even having yet come to market (which incidentally, was the first white Crianza in the history of Ribera del Duero).
For several years our winery Territorio Luthier has been working together with the Instituto Tecnológico Agrario de Castilla y León (ITACYL) and Bodega 3 Ases on a project to recover minority grape varieties. These are native varieties of which there are very few vines left, they were discontinued in favor of more productive varieties. What will really prevent them from disappearing is to plant vineyards with them and demonstrate that they can be used to produce and market high quality wines.
Currently in our country, only 5% of the wine produced is made from minority varieties and many have already been lost in favor of more productive foreign varieties.
That is why we decided that the first vineyard we were going to plant next to the winery would be made using these varieties. And this dream came true in 2020 thanks to the first edition of this campaign #Pontunombreaunacepa in which in just 15 days you named 1800 vines of the varieties Tinto Jeromo, Gajoarroba, Rabigato-Puesta en Cruaz and Mandón-Forcada.
Two years later we are going to expand this vineyard with 1900 more vines. And we are once again offering you to put your name on a vine in exchange for buying our wine now. In this way, you will be part of Territorio Luthier while contributing to the project of saving these native varieties and maintaining biodiversity. And you will be able to come and visit the vineyard, take care of the vines and drink its production exclusively every year.
VARIETIES RECOVERY PROJECT
The varieties we have chosen are minority varieties of Castilla León. These varieties have practically disappeared and the idea is to recover them to make autochthonous wines that can provide differentiation and typicity. Looking to the past to learn for the future. Not forgetting history
The recovery of minority varieties is being carried out in collaboration with the Agricultural Technical Institute of the Junta de Castilla y León and the 3 Ases winery in Ribera del Duero. It is aimed at scientific, technical, legislative and commercial aspects.
Minority varieties are those of which very few individuals remain distributed in small vineyards and which are difficult to locate and identify. These varieties are in danger of extinction, and the project aims to study their adaptability in the Ribera del Duero area and their use for making commercial wine that can be covered by a quality designation of origin.
The varieties we have are:
- Tinto Jeromo. It has been defined as the “new treasure” of Arribes due to its organoleptic properties and other characteristics that make it ideal for single-varietal wines. In this regard he highlighted its late maturity, high productivity, rusticity and the possibility of aging, high acidity and resulting in very fresh wines.
- Gajoarroba. Late budding and ripening. Quite productive. Complex aromas, rustic, which makes it interesting.
- Rabigato-Puesta en cruz. White grape variety, elongated and conical cluster. Intense acidity, fruity aromas, and possibility of aging. Quite productive and very interesting variety.
- Mandon-Forcada. Late maturity, aromatic complexity, very productive, possibility of blending with other varieties. Medium to large cluster.
The varieties to be planted this year 2022 are:
- Bruñal – a unique red variety in the world, coming from the D.O. Arribes del Duero. It is very special and very scarce. A balanced and high quality grape that produces concentrated wines with a lot of color and body.
- Cenicienta – a spicy red variety with good acidity recovered from a pre-phylloxera vine in the Rueda appellation. With a lot of character, it gives juicy wines despite its low yields and is very appropriate for its freshness in a context of global warming.
- Merenzao – another red variety, this time from Galicia, which produces spicy and mineral wines with a dense, long mouthfeel that age well in the bottle. Also low yielding, early budding and short cycle. It is a thin-skinned variety, giving little color and low acidity, but very elegant.
- Rufete Serrano White. Native variety in the D.O. Sierra de Salamanca area, used to provide acidity and volume to red wines. Long cycle and late ripening, it gives high acidity and allows good aging in wood.
