Bodegas Prado de Olmedo

About

Bodegas Prado de Olmedo is located in the village of Quintana del Pidio, which as in all the villages belonging to “La Ribera” landscape, has an economy based mainly in the vineyards developing and wine elaboration.Its wines take the name from a near place: “Monasterio de San Miguel”. This monastery reminds the historical heritage of the village, and provides important contribution in the vineyards growing among the Ribera del Duero land. This place, located in the Gromejon’s river border, has one of the most active Roman’s paths of that time: the one which communicated Zaragoza with Astorga. Probably there was a Roman village. After that became a small monastery which at last was overtaken by the strong Benedictine Santo Domingo de Silos. Today simply the name and few documentary remains of all that.The Quintana del Pidio farmers kept alive that memory, taken care of its vineyards in these privileged areas. Without great theoretical studies those farmers achieved a product for personal use, sometimes, and for commercial sale others. And always as a ritual element for all traditional celebrations of any kind, family, social or religious. Nowadays, Bodegas Prado de Olmedo wants to relive the history of this village, by elaborating wines, proud of this land and its name. And that’s why we take an exquisite care of all our 30 Ha. of vineyards, elaborating after in our moderns installations, according to our time.
