Goyo García Viadero: Pioneer of Natural Wine in Ribera del Duero

Origins and Philosophy

Goyo García Viadero was born into a family of winemakers: his parents founded the renowned Bodega Valduero in 1984, one of the pioneering wineries in Ribera del Duero. After earning a degree in agricultural engineering in 2003, Goyo decided to revive the authentic wines of the region, moving away from modern trends that had made wines impersonal. Together with his wife Diana, he restored century-old vineyards and highlighted the historic terroir, bottling his first wine in 2008.

Terroir and Vineyards

The estate includes 40 hectares in Ribera del Duero and an additional 8 hectares in the Liébana Valley in Cantabria, Diana’s birthplace. All vineyards are situated at high altitudes, between 800 and nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, ensuring natural freshness and acidity. Each plot is managed individually to maximize terroir expression and grape variety, including co-planted Tempranillo and Albillo in older vineyards.

Winemaking Method

Goyo harvests early to preserve acidity and works exclusively with slow, spontaneous fermentations. Wines are aged solely in used oak, with no added sulfites or additives, preserving purity and aromatic integrity. The winery, carved into rock in Gumiel del Mercado, creates an ideal microclimate for natural fermentation and aging.

Grape Varieties

Tempranillo, Graciano, Albillo, and Malvasia form the backbone of Goyo’s wines. Co-planting Tempranillo and Albillo in the oldest vineyards results in complex wines balanced between acidity, fruit, and minerality.

Recognition and Outlook

Initially called “the black sheep of Ribera,” Goyo García Viadero is now regarded as one of the region’s most promising producers. His focus on terroir, natural winemaking, and century-old vineyards makes him a reference point for those seeking authentic and age-worthy wines.
