Cillar de Silos ★ 4.5
A family-run estate in Quintana del Pidio, Cillar de Silos makes Ribera del Duero with an emphasis on purity, low yields, and restrained oak. Torresilo is the prestige cuvee; the Crianza is an accessible entry point. Receives consistently strong Decanter reviews but remains under the radar for international wine tourists.
Tip: TripAdvisor reviewers note that stopping by to buy direct is rewarding; call ahead as tour availability varies.
