The monks of the Cistercian Monastery of Valbuena in San Bernardo, began the distillation of pomaces and the elaboration of liquors by the year 1143, using the same methods as we do today.

Distilleries Del Duero was born in San Bernardo (Valbuena de Duero, Valladolid) in the year 1998. Its location at this point is marked by the fact of being surrounded by the best wineries in the Ribera Del Duero, its easier to get the perfect access to the best POMACES of the area, which are our raw material.

It is very important the closeness of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Valbuena, Cistercians jewel of the first half of the twelfth century, as it is the place from which it has been radiating all kinds of knowledge, among which it was the preparation of distillates.

Destilerías del Duero tried to do the same: to have the ability to combine the knowledge and the crafted elaboration (represented by the monastery) with the most modern technology.

We receive the pomaces from the best wineries in the area (Matarromera, Emina, Rento and many others from the Ribera del Duero Golden Mile) and we distil them in Copper Alembics with the same patience that is required in the craft work, but applying our modern technology.
 
Each alembic has a boiler, a rectifier and a condenser; we have two different sets of Alembics: One of them distils some steam and the other distils directly with fire.

In both cases it is the rectifier, this element of modern distillation, which streamlines the distilled product into an excellent Brandy that will underpin all our liquor.

In our Distillery we produce different products, all of which are derived from the spirit produced by distillation of the pomaces.
