About Divina Clementia

Divina Clementia is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Ribera del Duero, Spain, dedicated to producing high-quality, artisanal wines that reflect the unique character of their region. With a philosophy rooted in respect for tradition, the environment, and the people who have shaped the land, Divina Clementia combines generations of expertise with a passion for innovation and excellence.

The winery’s vineyards are situated in the prestigious "Golden Mile" of Ribera del Duero, an area celebrated for its exceptional terroir. The estate’s vines, some over 80 years old, are carefully tended by hand, ensuring optimal grape quality through sustainable viticulture practices. The focus is primarily on the native Tempranillo grape, locally known as Tinta Fina, which thrives in the region’s unique climate and soils. The estate’s commitment to low yields and meticulous vineyard management results in grapes of remarkable concentration and character.

Divina Clementia’s winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the natural qualities of the fruit and terroir to shine. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and undergo a rigorous selection process. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by gentle aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels. This approach enhances the complexity and elegance of the wines while preserving their freshness and vibrancy.

The winery produces a select range of wines, each expressing the essence of Ribera del Duero. Their flagship red wines, crafted from old-vine Tempranillo, display deep color, intense aromas of ripe fruit, and well-integrated oak. The palate is marked by balance, structure, and a long, persistent finish. In addition to their classic reds, Divina Clementia also offers limited-edition and reserve bottlings, showcasing the best parcels and vintages from their estate.

Divina Clementia’s dedication to quality extends to every aspect of production, from the vineyard to the bottle.
