Ocho Dos Dos which translates to ‘822’ in Spanish, stands for ‘822 meters of elevation’ (2,700 feet). A fresher and more modern style, revealing the character of Tempranillo: Currant and blackberry aromas, with great freshness and soft tannins.

Nestled on the outskirts of a charming ancient village in the far north of the Ribera del Duero D.O., Pagos de Anguix is the realization of a family dream to build a winegrowing legacy in one of the most prestigious appellations in Spain. The estate produces structured, age-worthy wines from Tinto Fino (also known as Tempranillo) that offer a refined and sophisticated expression of Ribera del Duero with the utmost emphasis on elegance and balance. All wines are farmed organically and 100% estate grown, produced, and bottled on-site.

Situated at an elevation of 2,800 feet, Pagos de Anguix farms 218 acres of certified organic vineyards, home to Tinto Fino vines between 20 and 40 years old — considered the prime age for achieving wines with impeccable flavor and concentration. These vineyard parcels are all located within 2.5 miles of the winery, and give birth to wines that epitomize longevity while also showcasing the ability to be enjoyed in their youth.

The estate is owned by the third and fourth generation of the Juvé family — the centuries-old winegrowing name behind Spain’s iconic sparkling producer, Juvé & Camps. The family’s heart remains in Penedès, but in a decision to look further ahead, they were driven by the desire to build a winegrowing legacy in one of the most prestigious appellations in Spain. In 2017, the first vintage of Pagos de Anguix was underway.

The winery is located in the “Golden Diamond”, the most prestigious area of the rocky Ribera del Duero region. The days are mild and the nights very cold, creating the ideal conditions for environmentally friendly, high-quality viticulture. The soils are shallow and sandy, with high limestone and iron content.

Pagos de Anguix proudly presents wines named after their parcels of provenance: Costalara, Barrueco and Prado Lobo, with the introductory ‘Ocho Dos Dos’ (‘822’) providing a gateway to the range. All these wines are 100% estate-grown, produced, and bottled on-site, ensuring the utmost control over quality and authenticity.

Crafted in the cellar by skilled enologist Pedro Elena, Pagos de Anguix wines are characterized by tension, emphasizing vibrant fruit and seamless integration of oak. With savory nuances and a touch of maturity, these wines offer a refined and sophisticated expression of Ribera del Duero, expertly balancing elegance and harmony.

Technical Director José Manuel Pérez Ovejas was also brought in during the first vintage to guide the estate forward. With multiple recognitions for his contributions, José Manuel’s accolades include being named “Winemaker of the Year” in 2017 (Expansión), “Best Winemaker in Spain” in 2018 (La Semana Vitivinícola), and recently ‘Best Winemaker 2023’ (En el Salón Internacional ENOMAQ). His work represents his deep connection to the land and environment, and his expertise and experience are essential in producing exceptional wines that reflect his passion and commitment to excellence.
