Pago de las Encomiendas Winery: Established in 2007

Located in the heart of Tierra de Barros, Extremadura, Pago de las Encomiendas Winery has been producing exceptional wines since 2007. Drawing on the rich viticultural heritage of the region, the winery combines traditional methods with modern technology. A key feature of their winemaking process is the use of gravity, which minimizes mechanical stress on the grapes, allowing the natural flavors and aromas to shine through.

Ideal Climate and Soil for Vines

The unique climate surrounding Pago de las Encomiendas is characterized by significant temperature variations between day and night, creating optimal conditions for grape ripening. The nutrient-rich soils further enhance vine growth, ensuring that the grapes develop their full potential. To maintain the quality of the grapes, harvesting occurs at night when temperatures are cooler, resulting in fresher fruit for winemaking.

Gentle Processing and Aging in French Oak

At Pago de las Encomiendas, grapes are carefully harvested and transported in boxes to prevent damage. The gravity processing system allows grapes to move naturally without harsh pumping, preserving their integrity. The wines are aged in French oak barrels at controlled temperatures, which helps maintain their structure and enhances their aromatic profiles. The winery prioritizes biodynamic practices, using only natural fertilizers and organic products to nurture the vines.

Diverse Grape Varieties

The vineyards at Pago de las Encomiendas cultivate a variety of grapes, including Tempranillo, Graciano, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cateyana. These high-quality grapes are the foundation for their renowned red, white, and rosé wines, each reflecting the unique terroir of Extremadura.

We really enjoyed the visit. Juan Pedro was very friendly and explained to us the entire production process (very curious, the organic and biodynamic production and the night harvest) and the characteristics of his wines, conveying to us his passion for his work. I recommend the visit 100%.

We spent a wonderful morning with Alberto, who told us the entire process of the different wines from Bodegas Pago de las Encomiendas. Afterwards, he did a tasting and explained some things to us to better appreciate the flavors and smells of the wine with an aperitif. All very rich and with great attention. We are very happy, it is highly recommended to spend a different morning at a good price.

It was wonderful to see the winery first-hand with a person who works and lives for it. The wine tasting was great and they gave us many tips for trying the wines. A highly recommended experience with a very human visit to a winery whose work and treatment of wine is very different from the rest.

Guided tour of the winery where you will see and be explained the entire winemaking process, from harvesting to bottling. At the end there was a tasting. Thanks to Alberto, the commercial director, who made it very enjoyable for us. We had a great morning.

Excellent winery visit and tasting. Just the two of us, and the tour guide. Very reasonably priced at just 12.5 euros per person, for a tour and tasting of their wines. Wines were very reasonably priced and we took four bottles to enjoy during the rest of our Spain trip. The guide was very helpful in his explanations and very personable. We learned a lot about the wines of Extremadura region. What's nice is that he also recommended a local cheese factory just minutes away, where we later purchased local cheese to enjoy with our wine!
