Our main role at the Regulatory Council for the Designation of Origin (D.O.) Ribera del Duero is to vouch for the authenticity of the wines of our region by applying our D.O. trust seal to each bottle. We also guarantee to the consumers that every single bottle bearing a numbered back label has undergone rigorous checks before reaching their wine-glasses.

This is the last stage of the quality control operations which we carry out. These begin with the monitoring of yields to ensure that the maximum yield permitted in the region – 7,000 Kg of grape per hectare - is not exceeded. Quality Control then moves to the wine making process where we ensure that only the authorised grape varieties are used. The wines then undergo a blind tasting process before reaching the market with the seal of our D.O.

We also put a considerable effort into the promotion of the wines of the Ribera del Duero. Finally, we also work with public and private organisations in research activities aimed at achieving improvements in the quality of the grapes and wines of the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
