From the heart of the Ribera del Duero of Valladolid, in the municipality of Castrillo de Duero, is our family winery Malacuera, a project of three friends, now partners, who after more than 25 years making wine for family consumption in
our underground cellars in the XVII century, inherited from our grandparents, and with the grapes from the old majuelos (vineyards) that they planted with so much care, one day we embarked on this adventure within the DO. Ribera del Duero.
We are Carlos, Cesar and David, who, following in the footsteps of our great teacher and best friend, Gerardo del Pico, disappeared at 91 years old and who dedicated his entire life to the countryside, loving the vine and treating its fruit
with a mixture of care and tradition, we were instilled in the love of those “clarets of a lifetime” of tempranillo and albillo, and those reds from old Aragonese red vines that give our land so much fame for good wines. So little by little we get hooked on this passion, and that is why today our winery maintains that mischievous, transgressive and even a little rogue spirit, which we have tried to capture in respect for the tradition learned with a touch of daring in the design of our labels, merging modernity and the elaboration of our wines "in the old way" with a tendency to natural wines as much as possible.
We currently produce seven types of wines, six under the DO Ribera del Duero and one under the DO Rueda. Our annual production is over one hundred thousand bottles with a turnover of more than five hundred thousand euros. We have expanded the facilities and equipment so that our production capacity would be around half a million bottles.
We are marketing throughout the national territory with the help of our network of distributors and working with major shopping centers nationwide. Our export experience covers several countries: Germany, the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Denmark; and quite possibly we will start in the Dominican Republic and Finland. Every year we participate in several international fairs, especially organized by ICEX We are growing strongly in the online commerce sector, being present in various national and European marketplaces, as well as our own online store.
