SITUATION

Based in Lerma, Arlanza wines cover the central area of the province of Burgos, towards the southern zone, and extend into the middle and lower valleys of the Arlanza river and its tributaries. It extends to the Pisuerga river and to the southeast along 13 villages in Palencia.

CLIMATE

The Burgos region is influenced by a continental climate, accused of being one of the harshest in Castilla y León, with cooler and cooler temperatures as one moves westward. Rainfall is more intense in the east (800 mm.), as one ascends to the higher lands of Soria.

SOILS

The soils, in general, are deep with a subsoil of soft rocks. The relief is varied with undulations and slopes, where the vineyard appears in soils without humidity problems. There is an abundance of sandy-clay, siliceous, granitic and limestone marl soils.

VARIETIES

White: albillo and viura.

Reds: tempranillo, garnacha, mencía, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

RED WINES
Most of the wines are made with Tempranillo and have a certain resemblance to those of Ribera, with which they share an extreme climate, although those of Arlanza are more aromatic, with greater freshness and softer tannins. As we get closer to the west, when the altitude drops, the wines are more powerful and higher in alcohol content, with a common acidity factor to be exploited.
