Roots
Bodegas José Pariente was founded by Victoria Pariente in 1998. From the beginning her main goal was to prove the aging potential of the verdejo variety.
Today, her children, Martina and Ignacio Prieto Pariente, are in charge of the family winery, and keep the same enthusiasm and commitment to great wines that respect the personal identity of each region.
TERROIR
THE VALUE OF ORIGIN
Expertise and ongoing study of different soils have led us to catalogue and zone all our vineyards.
Our three aging wines arise from this thorough work. Fermentado en Barrica, Cuvée Especial and Finca las Comas appeared with the aim to highlight each of their qualities.
Rueda is between 700 and 870 metres above sea level. It has a harsh continental climate characterized by extreme temperature contrasts, tempered only by the influence of the Duero River.
Wines
JOSÉ PARIENTE VERDEJO
Verdejo 100%
“Our freshest and most elegant native grape”
El vino insignia de la casa.
The assortment of family-owned vineyards, planted between 1962 and 1991, together with a grape selection from old vines allowed us to blend the complex and diverse soils of our motherland. José Pariente Verdejo is our flagship and the freshest and most elegant expression of our native grape. Made in stainless steel, concrete and wooden vats, and aged on its own lees.
JOSÉ PARIENTE SAUVIGNON BLANC
Sauvignon Blanc 100%
“Aromatic, round: the success of Sauvignon Blanc in our terroir”
Made from some of the oldest vineyards planted in Rueda more than 40 years ago
With this variety we try to bring a hint of persistence and minerality to the way we understand white wines. Made in our area, of continental climate and poor soils.
JOSÉ PARIENTE CUVÉE ESPECIAL

JOSÉ PARIENTE FERMENTADO EN BARRICA

Grape come from four bush vineyards older than 60 years: two of them are planted on quartzite boulder platforms, and the other two on sandy soils.

We have located a small Viognier vineyard hidden in the province of Valladolid. From this location we have taken out the grape essence to make a flavoured, full-bodied and substantial weight wine.
By selecting old vineyards (1924, 1946, 1956) we wanted to blend the wine diversity of the province of Valladolid into a wine that expresses delicacy and fruity freshness.
We have selected very old and singular vineyards from the province of Valladolid to make a clean and complex wine. El Origen aims to blend the plain elegance of our terroir to be the best picture of our region.
El Origen es fluido, con volumen y equilibrado.
Confines de Prieto Pariente es un vino que refleja el terruño de dos viñedos viejos de Garnacha en la Sierra de Gredos. Es un vino que refleja la combinación de suelos de pizarra y granito.
The vineyards altitude contributes necessary acidity to balance all previous elements.
