The winery

Dehesa de los Canonigos is one of the great historical estates of the Ribera del Duero and one of the best Tempranillo producers – and all without any “brand stickers”.

The most expensive red wines in Spain come from this region and are teeming with names that command hundreds of euros per bottle – Pingus, Vega Sicilia, Emilio Moro and many more These are the neighbors of Belen and Ivan, who now run Dehesa los Canonigos in the 5th generation. The two siblings form a perfect team. Belen's domain is the wine cellar, Ivan takes care of the management of the winery and the arable land that is also owned. Ivan is a small boss and proud Spaniard, but he supports his sister with devotion wherever and however he can. This results in world-class wines at a fair price, without an excessive "name premium".

All organic or what?

There are many definitions of what NATURAL means in winemaking. Not all winemakers are certified to treat nature responsibly. So we check for ourselves on site whether a winemaker meets our standards for treating the natural product wine.

✔ Organic, vegan, unfiltered, natural, etc.

✔ Biodiversity instead of monoculture

✔ Natural products produced at the pace of nature

No brand stickers.

Belen and Ivan are committed to offering premium wines at a fair price. They cultivate similar vineyards to their neighbors, who then charge hundreds of euros. They refuse to play the game of brand stickers and purchased awards, which allow them to charge a lower price.

Responsibility for the team in the engine room

The work in winemaking is often physically demanding and time-consuming, and not just during harvest time. Cheap workers from low-wage countries are popular. Against this background, high standards in the SOCIAL area are of fundamental importance to us.

✔ Fair wages and humane treatment

✔ Social responsibility

✔ Social commitment

"The best Tempranillos in Spain come from the Ribera del Duero. And not from the Rioja."
