The winery was originally founded by the San Juan family from Aranda de Duero (Burgos). The winery was built in 1979, a few years ahead of the creation of the Denominación de Origen Ribera de Duero. It is worth mentioning that the first vines at the vineyard were planted in 1946. On September 2002, The Bodegas y Viñedos O. Fournier Group purchased the winery and vineyards in order to continue with the development of the quality of the wines and become one of the leading wineries in Ribera de Duero. The main asset of the winery is its vineyard. The estate has 105 ha. of which 60 are planted with vines. The main variety is Tinta del País (tempranillo) with one ha. of Merlot. The age of the vineyard will allow O. Fournier to obtain high quality grapes for their top wines. |
