Ribera del Duero 杜埃罗河岸 是西班牙北部高原的一个DO产区,是卡斯蒂亚斯-莱昂地区著名的11个优质葡萄酒产区之一。也是杜埃罗河岸葡萄酒生产地之一。
这个产区的特点是地势平坦,土壤多岩石。尽管最著名的葡萄园是在西部地区的佩尼亚菲尔,在那有该地区的管理委员会,但是产区却以阿兰达·德杜罗镇为中心。
杜埃罗河岸被葡萄酒爱好者杂志命名为2012最佳葡萄酒产区
历史 葡萄酒的种植在这个地区种植已经有几千年的历史。据我们所知,葡萄栽培技术可能是在12世纪的时候由法国勃艮第地区克鲁尼的本笃教僧侣传到杜埃罗河岸。真正的杜埃罗河岸种植葡萄的历史可以追溯到2000年以前,最近出土的66米长的酒神巴斯克雕像足以证明这一切。
杜埃罗河岸的DO产区认证是1982年7月21日被葡萄酒生产组织和监管者协会认证的,据说2008年它被评为DOC产区,但是这一评审并未得到官方认证。
杜埃罗河岸的葡萄酒越来越受欢迎,主要原因是其他产区的葡萄种植者对这个地区产生了极大的兴趣。
地理 杜埃罗河岸位于伊比利亚半岛广阔、高耸的北部高原上。它占据了布尔戈斯省的南部平原,向西延伸到瓦尔拉多利德,分别包括南部和东部的塞戈维亚省和索里亚省的部分地区。顾名思义,这个地区沿着杜埃罗河从巴拉多利德上游大约115公里的路线,最宽约35公里。这个地区位于河流的较年轻的河段附近,后来经过附近的托罗和卢埃达地区,然后穿过葡萄牙著名的种植区杜埃罗和波尔图,在那里流入大西洋。
Geologically, tertiary sediments, consisting of gently lenticular layers of silty or clayey sand, alternate with layers of limestone, marl and chalky concretions. The Duero valley, formed during the Miocene period, has a flat, rocky, gently undulating terrain, ranging from 911 m down to 750 m above sea level.[8] The national highway N122 follows the river valley.
The Ribera del Duero has moderate to low rainfall (450 mm per year) and is exposed to quite extreme climatic conditions; long, dry summers with temperatures of up to 40 °C are followed by hard winters during which temperatures often come close to freezing temperatures[9]. There are also marked variations in temperature within each season. The climate is continental and Mediterranean, with more than 2,400 hours of annual sunlight.
Vineyards occupy around 120 km² of the region, most of which are situated in the province of Burgos, with around 5 km² in Valladolid and 6 km² in Soria.
Production
A Ribera del Duero wine.

Wines produced in the Ribera del Duero DO derive almost exclusively from red grapes. The Albillo grape is the only white variety grown, white wines being mostly destined for local consumption. The vast majority of production is dedicated to Tinto Fino (the local name for Tempranillo[12]), the dominant red varietal in the northern half of the Spanish peninsula. Tinto Fino is often, but not always complemented with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot, although the famous Tinto Pesquera, grown by Alejandro Fernández in Pesquera de Duero, is a 100% Tempranillo varietal wine. The introduction of Pesquera's 100% Tinto Fino wine was, at the time, somewhat controversial, as the considered benchmark Vega Sicilia wines traditionally blended Tinto Fino with such Bordeaux varietals as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.
There are other similarities between Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Whereas the wines are quite distinctive as a result of significant differences in terroir, both regions produce wines selected for long aging with highly complex vinification procedures, producing intense, extremely long-lived wines emanating from largely limestone soils. Wines are classified as much for their longevity as their grape quality, and Ribera del Duero produces some extremely well-aging wines. The aging requirements for Ribera del Duero are the same used in Rioja. Wines labelled as "Crianza" must age two years with 12 months in oak. "Reserva" wines must be aged at least three years with at least 12 months in oak. The "Gran Reserva" labelled wines must spend 5 years aging prior to release, two being in oak.
The town of Pesquera is particularly noted for its wines and the area around La Horra (another small town in the region) is respected by locals for its consistent quality. Viña Sastre is one of the region's more respected wine producers and the world-renowned Vega Sicilia easily the most famous. Vega Sicilia's more eminent customers include Prince Charles of the British royal family, while Alex Ferguson's favourite wine is Pesquera.[13] Other notable bodegas include, Dominio de Pingus, Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro, Bodegas Alion, and Hacienda Monasterio, all of which lie along The Golden Mile, Spain.
