The history of Vega Real

Back to origins

In founding the Vega Real vinery, the Barbadillo family, originally from Burgos, have managed to pursue their dream of going back to their roots, and, in doing so, they have essentially completed their family circle.

Vega Real is not just a range of wines, but it is very personal way of interpreting the Ribera del Duero. Each wine is unique and has its own personality; a true reflection of the winery’s historical setting.

Vega Real is a small/medium sized boutique winery that was founded in 1997, and which is located in the very heart of the Ribera de Duero, very close to Peñafiel.
Cultivated in vineyards planted next to one of the meanders of the River Duero and surrounded by hundred-year-old black popular trees, our red grapes are born to be adored.

Our production processes incorporate highly artisanal components. Likewise, our commitment to optimisation and specialisation are key features in our vineyard management. We work hard to ensure that we select only the very best grapes each year, taking each wine’s unique personality into consideration when doing so. For this reason, we are not just in charge of managing our own vineyards, but we are also involved in the total integration and management of the vineyards owned by the three finest grape growers in the area, who all work exclusively for Vega Real. Thanks to the flexibility of this management system, we are able to ensure optimum uniformity and qualitative stability year on year for Vega Real Roble, El Empecinado and Vaccayos.
