Very old and unique vineyards located in the province of Valladolid have been selected to create a complex and light wine. El Origen de Prieto Pariente is a juicy wine with a beautiful body and structure. El Origin is a blend of Tempranillo and Grenache.
 
The Tempranillo and Grenache grapes for Prieto Pariente wines come from old vineyards with very low yields, located in Castile and León, in the province of Valladolid and in the Sierra de Gredos mountain region. In Valladolid the vineyards are located in three different villages: Mucientes, Pedrosa del Rey and Valbuena de Duero. Each plot is fermented separately, allowing the most suitable blend for each of the wines to be selected from the province of Valladolid. 
 
The 2018 La Provincia is a balanced and soft wine, with notes of fresh red fruit. La Provencia has a spontaneous fermentation with controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Part of the malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and the other part in French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 11 months in French oak barrels of 225 and 500 l. Minimum aging in bottles is 9 months.
