Raza
2022
A wine in honour of our roots and our land, Pedrosa de Duero.
Carmelo Rodero Raza enhances the character and strength that sets us apart. Spontaneous, elegant, subtle, silky and balanced, this «new wine» is at once intense and light. It possesses the elegance of its predecessor and improves its freshness. Throughout its creation, Raza is guided by the same exacting standards that make up our Pago de Valtarreña or TSM wines.
Strength and
Character
We are looking to produce a «village wine» satisfied solely with the plots of our land, our village, Pedrosa de Duero.
A wine made exclusively from the grapes of the 4 locations that make up the hamlets of our history. The name of Raza it refers to those origins that set us apart.
A wine to
Enjoy
Carmelo Rodero Raza represents the essence of our philosophy and identity, reflecting an absolute respect for the land and the constant pursuit of balance.
It is a creation designed for those who value uncomplicated elegance, the subtlety that stems from well-done work and the freshness that invites you to enjoy things without haste. This wine is born from a profound knowledge of our vineyards and a rigorous selection of our most expressive plots.
Raza it embodies our style: balanced and refined, but with personality; sophisticated without losing the down-to-earth feel of its origins. Its name is no coincidence: it speaks of heritage and a way of understanding wine as an extension of who we are.

Winemaking by
Gravity
In 2004, Carmelo devised a unique rotating system for making wines by gravity, protected under patent and designed to minimise the handling of the grapes.
Unlike traditional methods, in which the fruit must be forcibly moved to the storage tanks, in this innovative design It is the sediments that move gently towards the grape, completely avoiding the use of pumps or other aggressive transfer mechanisms.
From a purely oenological point of view, this rigorous procedure guarantees optimum protection of the grape, substantially reduces premature oxidation and maximally respects the original aromas and flavours. The patented system has become a true benchmark in modern winemaking, integrating traditional knowledge with technological innovation to produce wines of exceptional purity and finesse.
