In the Toughest Area of Ribera del Duero... At more than 3000 feet above sea level, a collection of wines has been born in honor of all the men & women who dedicate their lives to the vineyard. The Wine Bards. When we created Bardos, we had the option of settling in the prestigious Golden Mile - as big wineries do... or, complicating our lives and settling in the coldest, highest and most difficult area of the entire denomination. The result is a collection that reflects the perfect balance between power and natural finesse.
