There is written evidence that the first vines were planted on the estate in the 13th Century. During the 14th Century, it was run by Saint Pedro de Villacreces and, later on, with its perfect conditions for prayer and retreat, it became a monastery. In the 20th Century, the property belonged to a wealthy aristocratic family from Valladolid, who used to spend their holidays and weekends there. In the early 1970s, 100 acres of vineyard were planted, which has now been increased to 150. Including a 200-year-old forest, the estate comprises a total of 285 acres. In 2003, the Anton family - owners of a Rioja bodega and one of Spain’s most famous Michelin starred restaurants in the Basque country – purchased the estate and invested in revitalizing both the estate and the vineyards. The property is situated at 2,300 feet above sea level on poor soils comprised of lime, gravel, sand and quartz which naturally keep yields low (the estate averages 1.6 tons per acre). The proximity to the Duero river helps protect the vines from and reduce the effects of the frosts that are common in the Ribera del Duero.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-14T15:55:00-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-10T10:39:21-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","Other_Wine","Producer_Finca Villacreces","Region_Castilla y Leon","RK070324","Source_RemedyWine0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Red Blend"],"price":4795,"price_min":4795,"price_max":4795,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44463132049546,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Finca Villacreces | Pruno","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":4795,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/47_fd2fe55d-af24-409a-b599-66824cf24db2.png?v=1710081613"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/47_fd2fe55d-af24-409a-b599-66824cf24db2.png?v=1710081613","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Finca Villacreces | Pruno at CaskCartel.com","id":26439433715850,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.323,"height":405,"width":131,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/47_fd2fe55d-af24-409a-b599-66824cf24db2.png?v=1710081613"},"aspect_ratio":0.323,"height":405,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/47_fd2fe55d-af24-409a-b599-66824cf24db2.png?v=1710081613","width":131}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Finca Villacreces | Pruno\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, black cheery colour.
