Rippa Dorii is the Ribera del Duero project from the Ontañón Family (of Rioja). The grapes are chosen from a number of sites near Fuentecén, in the heart of the Ribera region, here, altitudes reach over 900 metres and the climate is harsh, with irregular rain, uncertain frosts and short and extremely hot summers. Sounds brutal but the vines love it and respond with producing concentrated fruit. Produced solely from Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo), they employ rational and measured viticulture with absolute respect for tradition and knowledge of the land, ensuring continued respect for the winemakers, the wine and the soil from which it produced.
