Tomás Postigo

What Tomás Postigo does

Tomás Postigo is a family-owned winery (legal entity POSTIGO VERGEL, S.L.) based in Peñafiel, Valladolid, in Spain's D.O. Ribera del Duero. Founded in 2008 by veteran winemaker Tomás Postigo — who retired in June 2024 after more than 40 harvests in the region — the winery is now operated by his four children (Gabriel, Alberto, Juan, and Nicolás). It produces a focused portfolio of premium wines: four reds under D.O. Ribera del Duero (3er Año, 5º Año, Rebollo, and Vinificación Integral, drawn from Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec grown at 750-1,010m altitude) and one white under Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León (Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica, sourced from older non-trellised vineyards in Nieva, Segovia).

The winery's technical positioning rests on a cluster of craft-driven differentiators: exclusively native yeast fermentation from strains isolated in its own vineyards since 2013, gravity-fed winemaking without pumps, and barrel aging in French oak (and, for the Rebollo line, in Quercus Pyrenaica — the first Spanish wine aged in this native oak). The estate controls 23 hectares of own vineyards and sources 70% of grape production from long-term winegrower partnerships covering approximately 100 hectares. In 2024 it became the first winery in Spain to receive the Ecological Carbon Footprint award and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (2024-2027).

The business model is direct-to-consumer at the Peñafiel winery plus traditional wholesale distribution through wine shops and HORECA channels. The company employs 9 people, has no external investors or parent company, and operates primarily within Spain. Revenue, pricing, and customer-level data are not publicly disclosed. Distribution and marketing rely on a bilingual website (Spanish/English) and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), with no e-commerce platform evident in the input data.
