Bodegas Piedra
Piedra is the dream of a family wishing to turn its passion into reality: making wines of outstanding quality. After Grant Stein decided in 1977 to establish his own wine estate following a successful legal career, his search eventually ended in Toro, a Spanish region in which he saw great potential. Today, the family and an excellent team ensure that their passion for wine is reflected every day in a quality product, with wines representing the character of the Duero region.
The indigenous Tinto Toro grape is at home in the Duero or Toro region, where it has grown for a long time without human intervention. Tinta de Toro is a form of Tempranillo, but much more concentrated. In one of the Stein family's vineyards, bush-trained vines planted in 1968 form what is now the largest plot of old vines in D.O. Toro. In the heart of D.O. Toro, specifically in the Guareña Valley, lies the estate Piedra.
Unlike the region's other estates, Piedra also grows Garnacha. A small proportion of Garnacha gives the Tinta del Toro wines greater balance, making them more complex and stylistically modern. It also imparts elegant, fruity aromas on the nose and more balanced acidity. Piedra's wines were created to delight the senses and celebrate life and friendship. With a broad range that is constantly expanding, there is something for every taste. From young, natural wines made without sulphites or other additives to wines that improve with time and maturation, they express the best of their vineyards.
