The wine

Continuing the Alonso del Yerro family's strong bond with the land, Paydos combines all the Toro region's virtues; it's intense and profound, but as always happens with this house's wines, it's also extremely fine and elegant.

The old bush vines, planted in gravel and clay soils, enjoy a superb setting in which to grow at an altitude of more than 700 metres. It rains very little and there's an extreme contrast in day and night temperatures, both very favourable for obtaining a wine of magnificent quality.

After a good harvesting by hand and a maceration lasting 24 hours, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing for 15 months in French oak barrels.

In appearance it exhibits boldness, an intense dark Picota cherry colour. On the nose, the ripe black fruit, liquorice, cocoa and blue flowers all define it. On the palate it's full-bodied and profound, as it should be, but it also boasts polished tannins and fine spicy touches. Balsamic hints emerge from its impressive volume.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

I retasted the jammy 2017 Paydos, the wine produced in Toro, reflecting a warm and dry year with high ripeness and the customary 14.5% alcohol. This comes from 80-year-old vines in Morales de Toro where they managed to escape the killer frost from the year. It matured in 20% new barrels for 15 months. It's evolving nicely and slowly, keeping the juicy, jammy, fruit-driven and ripe character from the year with ripe fruit flavors in the finish. 5,700 bottles were filled in March 2019.

Viñedos Alonso del Yerro

Viñedos Alonso del Yerro

The name Alonso del Yerro is familiar to many of us as a famous winery and well-established among the Ribera del Duero's greats. There's no doubting this, but a fact not so well-known is that it began life back in 2002, when husband and wife Javier Alonso and María del Yerro decided to make their dream of producing fine wines a reality in Roa (Burgos). From then on, their popularity and the quality of their wines have continued on a rapid rise, thanks to exacting standards and...
