Bodegas Fuentenarro

SPAIN • Ribera del Duero

The history of the Ribera del Duero has run parallel to the vineyard and wine, the fruit of some strains that mark its landscape, the character of its people and its culture.

Grape growing in this area dates back 2,000 years ago and since then, wine and vineyards has been a central part of the cultural and economic development of the area.

The clone of Tempranillo from Fuentenarro's vines comes from pre-filoxericas strains, which brought the Brothers of the Holy Family from France to the town of La Horra in 1908, dedicating their work in subsequent years, planting new strains endowed with this magnificent clone. This clone of tempranillo is perfectly adapted to the type of terrain and extreme weather in Riber del Duero. Since that time producing high quality grapes gave rise to the production of great wines, which have been recognized worldwide for years and recognizing the town of La Horra, as one of the best adaptations of the tempranillo variety in the world.

The Fuentenarro family, who owned in those years of excellent terrain for planting vineyards, has continued this tradition, using this production system in its vineyards planted later, based on the teachings and experience of religious brought from France to our town and already our grandparents used to cultivate their vineyards with excellent quality results.

All our vineyards are located in the municipality of La Horra, Burgos. The vineyards of our family are from 23 years old the youngest, to the vineyards of 90 years old, the oldest, planted by our grandfathers and with a very limited production, but of excellent quality, for processing our most exclusive wines.
