Ribera del Duero

Alejandro Fernández discovered an abandoned hillside on the banks of the River Duero in the mid-1980s that seemed to bring together the ideal conditions to become one of the best vineyards of the region.

It became a complete and self-sufficient winery encompassing the whole winemaking process from the vine to the bottle.
