- El Mirón, Pradorey Finca Los Quemados and Pradorey Finca La Recorba: three wines that invite you to view the Ribera del Duero from a different perspective – one that is broader, more versatile and more gastronomic – and which ‘speak’ the language of today.
- To discover them, there’s nothing quite like enjoying Pradorey’s wine tourism with a stop at La Posada, a 17th-century Herrerian gem once visited by Rubens, Lope de Vega and Philip III. And for those who’d rather take a taste of that summer home with them, they’re available from their online shop.
When summer arrives, wine also changes its pace. We’re less interested in labels and more in terraces. Less formality and more after-dinner chat. Less solemnity and more of a desire to open a bottle that complements the moment without overpowering it. With this in mind, Pradorey (Gumiel de Mercado, Burgos. Tel. 947 54 69 00) offers three wines to experience summer from a broader, more versatile and gastronomic perspective of the Ribera del Duero: El Mirón, Finca Los Quemados and Finca La Recorba.
Three distinct wines that invite you to view this region from a different perspective. Because Ribera del Duero remains a land of great reds, but it can also speak the language of whites with character, of rosés with depth, and of wines designed to be enjoyed with ease.
El Mirón: a fresher, more contemporary Ribera
One of Pradorey’s launches for 2026 is El Mirón 2024, a wine that forms part of its Gama de Autor range, alongside wines such as Élite and Adaro. Crafted from a blend of Tempranillo, Albillo Mayor and Merlot, it was created with a clear vision: to showcase a fresher, more accessible and contemporary Ribera del Duero. As Fernando Rodríguez de Rivera, CEO of Pradorey, explains, “El Mirón was created for a new generation seeking authentic, fresh and less formal wines that respect their origins whilst speaking the language of today”.
Aromatic, balanced and easy to drink, it works very well with informal meals, summer dinners, extended aperitifs or occasions where you fancy a wine with the soul of the Ribera, but without being over the top. It’s a good choice to pair with tuna tataki, white meats, rice dishes or grilled vegetables. Recommended retail price: €12.
Pradorey Finca Los Quemados, the unexpected white from Ribera
If there is one wine that invites you to see the Ribera del Duero from a different perspective, it is Pradorey Finca Los Quemados 2024. A white made from Albillo Mayor grapes, produced in an area historically associated with red wine, yet one that demonstrates the gastronomic potential of white grape varieties in this region. Aged on lees and with good ageing potential, it is unctuous, complex, fresh and has a briny finish. Its profile makes it a particularly interesting pairing for oily fish, seafood rice dishes, shellfish, citrus-based sauces, Asian cuisine or lightly spiced dishes.
Finca Los Quemados is Pradorey’s unexpected white wine. A wine that defies the cliché, yet remains true to the terroir. Recommended retail price: €15
Pradorey Finca La Recorba: a subtle, timeless rosé for those seeking ‘something more’
Summer is the natural season for rosés, but Pradorey Finca La Recorba 2024 does not fit the profile of a light, fleeting rosé. It is an estate wine, made from Tempranillo, Merlot and Albillo Mayor, which combines fruit, freshness and delicacy with a clear gastronomic focus. Elegant, balanced and long-finishing, it is designed for those seeking more than just a refreshing wine. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, grilled shellfish, Japanese cuisine, elaborate salads, white meats or creamy cheeses.
Finca La Recorba reaffirms rosé as a gastronomic wine – contemporary and full of character. A summer rosé, yes, but not just for summer. Recommended retail price: €15.
Three wines, three moments, one estate
El Mirón, Finca Los Quemados and Finca La Recorba share the same origins, but not the same story: three wines for three moments of summer, three ways to sit down to a meal and three ways to discover a fresh, gastronomic Ribera del Duero with character.
For those wishing to discover them in their place of origin, the winery suggests rounding off the experience with a visit to Pradorey and a stop at La Posada, a 17th-century Herrerian gem once visited by Rubens, Lope de Vega and Philip III. And for those who’d rather take a taste of summer home with them, all three wines are available from their online shop https://www.pradorey.es/tienda-online/, with delivery to anywhere on the Spanish mainland.
