Dominio del Águila is a family winery based in La Aguilera, a small village in Ribera del Duero, and run by a couple formed by Jorge Monzón and Isabel Rodero, vigneron and architect respectively. Jorge comes from a family of many generations of vignerons. His studies were based in ‘Soil, viticulture and oenology’ at the Universities of Bordeaux and Burgundy. He worked with prestigious wineries such as Domaine De La Romanée-Conti for more than two
years. He has also worked in Spain in the Vega Sicilia Group for a year and as technical director of Bodegas Arzuaga-Navarro for nine years.
Since 2013 he works full time in Dominio del Águila. The winery’s main brand is ‘Dominio del Águila’. It is a ‘vino reserva’ with more than 30 months ageing in French oak barrels. Also they produce a claret and a red wine aged for about 15 months, called ‘Picaro del Águila’. These wines are the basis of their work, but they also have a range of other wines of great personality, such as ‘Canta la Perdiz’, a ‘Gran reserva’ that ages more than 40 months in oak barrels.
