Bodegas Vizcarra

Feature : Ribera del Duero

Bodegas Vizcarra

A small but serious producer located in Burgos. In the 1980s, José Manuel Vizcarra Aguado was one of the pioneers in planting vineyards when there were fewer people interested in the Ribera del Duero area.

Today, the family winery is spearheaded by Jose’s son Juan Carlos Viscarra Ramos. The winery was immaculate and sterile. Juan Carlos offered his selection of 9 wines to taste. We loved these wines.
