Milsetentayseis is Alma Carraovejas’s project dedicated to Fuentenebro, one of the most distinctive areas of Ribera del Duero in Spain. The name, which in Spanish means 'one thousand seventy-six', refers to its defining feature: an elevation of 1,076 metres.

The project was born after more than ten years working with Fuentenebro’s grapes. Here, amid valleys, rocks, and hollows, an old vineyard lies between 920 and 1,100 metres in elevation. Old vines coexist with new plantings designed for the long term, as part of a parcel-recovery project that enhances a landscape with a deep winemaking tradition. The varieties are indigenous and the climate is extreme: viticulture on the edge, where risk is constant but the grapes are of outstanding quality.

The soils are highly diverse. A loam-clay texture rich in iron predominates, giving the parcels an intense reddish hue, while the remnants of the ancient Aguacae mines add a strong mineral component. In the old vineyard of La Peña, where several ancient varieties coexist, the soils are loamy-sandy with fragments of quartz, feldspar, and mica.

The philosophy aims to express the vineyard to the fullest through deep knowledge of each plot, micro-vinifications, spontaneous fermentations, and native vineyard yeasts. The wines, such as Milsetentayseis Tinto and La Peña, seek freshness and elegance and aim to tell the story of the land in a natural and sustainable way.

Altitude, ancient vines, and mineral soils make Milsetentayseis an original, high-altitude interpretation of Ribera del Duero.
