Bodegas Montebaco sits on the lands of the two municipalities of the DO Ribera Del Duero: Valbuena de Duero and Pesquera de Duero.
Montebaco is one of the historic wineries in the province of Valladolid.
Since the beginning, Montebaco has always had a clear vocation: to produce high quality ageing wines, wines in which ageing in oak barrels is an essential stage, assembling fruit and wood admirably.
The philosophy of the winery is inspired by respect for the environment and the location, letting the wines express where they come from.
Semele is a great ageing Ribera del Duero at a fantastic value for money.
