About the wine
Oscar's double medal-winning Ribera red has been named one of Decanter's Wines of the Year
- Sitting at a towering 1,000 meter altitude with rare old vines ranging from 50 to 100 years old, it's little wonder that Cillar de Silos was voted the Best Winery in Ribera del Duero. As an area with famously harsh conditions this was by no means an easy task, but Oscar only went and made it look like a walk in the park.
- The Cillar de Silos Crianza is a perfect example of Riberan elegance and complexity. The high altitude of the vineyard paired with the age of its vines is a dream combo, providing the kind of minerality and freshness you're likely to see once in a blue moon. The delicate fruit flavours of blackberries and ripe plums chime perfectly with smokiness from the French oak barrels.
- This is Fine Wine taken to the max and it’s got the title to prove it. That’s right, you’re looking at one of Decanter’s Wines of the Year, and it’s a double medal-winning champion to boot. It’s decked out in all the gongs a wine lover could dare to dream of.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Oscar Aragon
- In Northern Spain, just a few kilometres South West of Rioja, lies Ribera del Duero - a beautiful valley with a famously harsh climate that is known for its knockout reds and classy whites. It’s here where Oscar and his family call home.
- The area saw a boom in popularity in the 90’s which is precisely when the Aragon family opened the doors of ‘Cillar de Silos’ and they have been producing some lip-smackingly good tipples ever since. It’s a true family affair there with their father, Amalio (alongside a group of pickers with an average age of 75!), carefully hand harvesting the grapes each year.
- Oscar’s deep love of the land and passion for wine led him away from farming cereals and straight into the vineyards. You can look forward to some seriously elegant little drops from this winery... they've already picked up a number of impressive awards - including one for best winery in the region!
