Producer Information
Dominio del Águila is a wine estate and microbrewery based in the village of La Aguilera, in the Ribera del Duero wine region of northern central Spain. The winery was established by Jorge Monzón and Isabel Rodero. The pair make a range of wines, predominantly from the local staple Tinta del País (Tempranillo). Following enology studies in Bordeaux and Burgundy, along with stints at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Vega-Sicilia, Monzon spent nine years winemaking at fellow Ribera del Duero mainstay Bodega Arzuaga-Navarro. Then, in 2010, Monzon and partner Rodero established Dominio del Águila in the small village of La Aguilera. The pair make a small range of wines from 30 hectares (74 acres) of old vines around the village. Although Tempranillo is the most prevalent grape in the region, Dominio del Águila blanco is made from old vine Albillo while the Picaro del Águila Tinto and Clarete is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal and Albillo (the latter is also known as Blanca del País). The Dominio del Águila Reserva is a similar blend of varieties (with Tempranillo predominant) albeit from the oldest vines on the property. The top wine is the single-vineyard Canta La Perdiz (aged as a Gran Reserva): a blend of Tempranillo, Cariñena, Bruñal, Bobal and Albillo. The bodega also produces a beer called Milagritos made partly from barley grown in the region and fermented with indigenous yeast.
