Our partners are the most important part in our business
The way we choose
When we choose new wineries, we don't compromise. We visit our partners regularly to keep up to date on production. This gives us tremendous insight and a close relationship. We want our business to reflect this.
Ribera Del Duero is a very complex region with a lot of history. This is a big part of Goba's existence and that is why we want to tell the stories of the vineyards in the region.
Find below which wineries Goba works with.

"The selection of wineries is a long process for us. Each winery must meet our requirements as a wine supplier. These key elements are essential to our close agent-supplier relationship"
The bodega
Asenjo Manso
It is located in La Horra, a village with a long grape and wine-growing tradition in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The Asenjo Family has been always devoted with passion and dedication to viticulture. Their qualities have been preserved over time and passed down from grandfather to son for generations.
‘‘Our way of understanding life, love of the vines, and winemaking is a lifestyle.’’
Their land is excellent for wines because of a special microclimate, with sudden changes between day and night (continental climate), which makes powerful grapes and gives the grape a special character that will later transfer to wine.
​
The elaboration of wine is nothing but a natural process with a high control throughout the whole process. They select the grapes carefully and before the wine goes through the aging process, it must achieve the high standards of criteria for tannins, color, and aromas. The wines are cut in a traditional manner. On the nose, there are dark berries, figs, forest floor, toasty spices, and a well-integrated barrel. They're usually juicy and strong.
The bodega
Abadía de acón
Abadía de Acón is the project of the Carrasco family. It is located in the heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, in Castrillo de la Vega, Burgos. Here, for centuries, their ancestors traditionally made their own wines.

In 1953, their great-grandfather, Norberto Carrasco, built some concrete vats in the underground cellar. In 2003, the Carrasco family built the current winery; nestled on a gentle hill that opens to the four winds, it is guarded by centenary oak trees and, from any of its sides, you can see wide vineyards, Castilian fields, native oak forests, holm oaks, rockroses, junipers, etc... and, not far away, the course of the Duero river can be seen.
​
Their winemaking philosophy is to take advantage of and control the natural process of grape production and transformation, combining innovation and tradition. All of this is based on the utmost respect for the vineyard, the use of natural fertilizers, and manual care of the vine, the land, and its environment. The altitude at which all their vineyards are located varies between 800 and 870 meters above sea level.
