Bodegas Epifanio Rivera Winery: A 16th Century Treasure

Located in the picturesque Pesquera de Duero region of Spain, Bodegas Epifanio Rivera Winery is renowned for its commitment to preserving century-old vineyards. The winery's medieval cellar, dating back to the 16th century, is now lovingly maintained by the Rivera-Aparicio Family. They blend traditional techniques with modern winemaking practices to craft premium wines under the DO Ribera Del Duero designation.

The Rivera-Aparicio Family has revitalized the historic cellar and replanted unique grape varieties in their vineyards.

Historic Cellar with Quality Aging

Bodegas Epifanio Rivera has a rich history linked to the 19th-century La Cocedera winery. The family has renovated the ancient cellar, which now houses French and American oak barrels, essential for aging and refining their wines. A well-equipped bottling room ensures that high-quality corks preserve the freshness and unique characteristics of each wine.

Exceptional Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero

During harvest, grapes are handpicked, with only the finest selected for fermentation in the winery's cellar. The vineyards are home to exceptional Tempranillo vines, producing outstanding red wines under the DO Ribera Del Duero label. After careful selection, fermentation occurs in specialized vats under controlled temperatures.

The estate's prized vineyards are situated in the esteemed Pesquera de Duero region, where the Rivera-Aparicio Family passionately cultivates grapes across seven vineyards. The Erialon and Rendeja vineyards are particularly noted for their exceptional wines.
