CURIOSITIES: The Pagos de Anguix vineyards are located in the municipalities of Anguix and Olmedillo de Roa, in the north of the Ribera del Duero in Burgos. This area has been called the "golden diamond" of the region by the Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, due to the quality of its soils and the kindness of its climate for the cultivation of vines. The climate is temperate, although with very cold nights, generating high temperature contrasts which are very favourable for quality viticulture. The soils are also shallow, sandy, with a high limestone and iron content.
