Winemaker Notes
“The great tradition in Ribera del Duero has always been the traditional CLARETES made in underground cellars and consumed throughout the year. Pilar is a name of Castilian origin and refers to an object that allows to sustain and give support.
Pilar is also the name of Our Mother that is why this wine is dedicated to this great woman who gives us support and love in our Family. â€
