Visit to the Historic Winery in Fermoselle with Wine Tasting

Embark on a journey to the past with our guided tour of a historic winery in the beautiful village of Fermoselle. This charming locality, situated in the heart of the Sayago region, offers a unique landscape of cobblestone streets and traditional architecture, surrounded by stunning views of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park.The visit begins with a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the rich winemaking history of the region. As you delve into the 500-year-old winery, you'll feel time stand still. The ancient underground galleries, carved out of solid rock, have centuries of history and have been carefully preserved to maintain their authenticity and original charm.During the tour, our guide will share fascinating stories about Fermoselle, the evolution of production techniques, and the secrets that make our wines unique. These galleries not only hold the secrets of winemaking but also the stories of the Sephardic communities that once inhabited the region. You can admire the large round arches constructed from granite without mortar, reminiscent of Roman structures that seem to defy gravity. There are also arches that require no reinforcement as they have been literally carved out of a very hard granite rock.Furthermore, you'll discover that the Sephardic influence is evident in many aspects of our winery. Among its historical peculiarities is one of its two cisterns, which contains seven steps, pointing to the past of this culture in the historic place of Fermoselle. The seven steps were most likely built to access the "living waters" of the Mikveh, a place for Jewish purification rituals.Carved into the walls, you can also find niches that might once have held ceremonial objects. During the restoration of the winery, an inverted hanukkiah (Jewish candelabrum) was also discovered carved into a stone at the entrance, which scholars of the crypto-Jewish past consider significant.The visit culminates with an exclusive tasting of three selected wines from the winery. Each wine has been chosen to offer you a complete sensory experience, from the fresh and fruity Malvasía white, to the elegant and balanced Juan García red, and the robust and complex red from the exclusive Bruñal grape. The tasting takes place in an exclusive, specially conditioned room where you can appreciate the nuances and aromas in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.The tasting is accompanied by an appetizer, including a sampling of premium extra virgin olive oil. At the end, you can purchase the bottles of wine you have tasted.This experience will not only allow you to savor exceptional wines but also to understand and appreciate the cultural legacy and passion behind each bottle. The influence of the region's ancient winemakers is felt in every corner of our winery and in every sip of our wines. Join us for an immersion into the history and flavor of Fermoselle, where every sip tells a story and every corner of the winery reveals a piece of the past.
