Bela

Bela is a new project in Ribera del Duero from one of Rioja's leading producers CVNE. The project begins with a single vineyard of 83 hectares in Villalba del Duero at an elevation around 800m, and entirely planted with Tinto del País, the local name for Tempranillo.

CVNE purchased the winery and part of the vineyards from Anta Bandera, a winery partly owned by Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas, and renamed it Bela after the nickname of the daughter of one of CVNE's founders.

The wines from here can be characterised as being some of the more elegant and refined wines from the region, and we expect to see more wines emerging from this burgeoning winery as and when they acquire new vineyards.
