Reviews
This is a fantstic winery where everything...
The Don Miguel is great but the younger wine also is well worth drinking. We just tried the wine and had a tour in the winery so I can't say anyting about the food. Winerys are there for wine though, aren't they?

About Winery and Wines
Comenge Winery is located in Curiel de Duero, Valladolid at the heart of the Ribera del Duero, just 5 km from Peñafiel.
Our premises are modern with simple lines, surrounded by spacious gardens and 16 hectares of our own organic Tempranillo vineyard.
You can enjoy magnificent views of the Castles of Curiel and Peñafiel and the banks of the Duero River from our salons and terraces.
The winery began in 1999 driven by Jaime Comenge Puig, who from the beginning our goal very clear: to make very fine wines, applying the results of the innovative research projects developed in collaboration with prestigious universities.
Our winery is always open to anyone interested in learning about wine and enjoy our wines.
In 2007, our business opened our new premises to welcome visitors. In recent years we have expanded our offer with a wide range of possibilities (visits, wine tasting, activities in the vineyard, gastronomic events, workshops and many others).
In 2011 our efforts were rewarded with a major award given by the Wine Routes of Spain, where Bodegas Comenge obtained a Special Mention for "Best Wine Establishment 2011."
All of our grapes are 100% estate-owned and are grown sustainably. We are organic certified by the EU 2015. Our natural, unique and patented wine making process was developed together with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and includes a triple selection process that is designed to naturally enhance the quality and character of our principal grape variety, Tempranillo.
We are pioneers in establishing a triple selection of the fruit: first during the handpicking process, then, already at the winery, there is a selection of clusters, and finally, after the de-stemming, grapes are selected one by one, making sure only the highest quality fruit will go to the tank.
For more than 20 years, in a programme developed together with Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, we analysed thousands of indigenous wild yeast strings from our vineyards and selected the yeast string that matched the predefined requisites. We also developed a unique and patented method to ensure selected our yeast will perform the fermentation.
The aging is done in French oak barrels, with the maximum of three years old barrels. Time in barrels depends on the characteristics of each harvest, aiming to achieve finesse and enhance the quality without fruit aromas being annulled by the oak flavours. Our wines are elegant and yet complex and full bodied wines.
