History
Hacienda Abascal was completed in 2006, following a radically modern style known as `Land Art', developed in California during the 1980s. Combining nature and architecture, this modern Hacienda is a declaration of innovation and modernity in the heart of one of the regions of Spain with the greatest wine tradition, Ribera del Duero. Located next to the estate of the world famous Vega Sicilia and close to other prestigious vineyards (Pingus, Abada Retuerta or Mauro) this prestigious area is popularly known as `The Golden Mile', given its proximity to the famous Douro River.

After the first action, the grape is introduced into the deposits together with the must produced, where the first phase of the process consists in the transformation of the grape sugar into the alcohol on the one hand and on the other the carbon dioxide, which is what We call alcoholic fermentation. In order for this fermentation to be ideal, temperatures, densities are controlled and so-called tracing is carried out to facilitate phenolic extraction. Once this fermentatio
