Dominio Fournier Ribera del Duero

Dominio Fournier is located in the heart of Ribera del Duero and with over sixty years of traditional winemaking. Dominio Fournier produces hand-crafted wines with power and intensity from stony vineyards embraced by the meandering river.


Winemaking, under the watchful eye of Marian Santamaria, is an artisan affair, with limited production, low yields, hand craftmanship and meticulous attention to detail, dedicated to producing elegant, structured and intense red wines which breathe the unique character of Ribera del Duero.

Dominio Fournier

Nestling in a natural meander of the Duero River, the Dominio Fournier vineyards sit at the very heart of the Ribera del Duero region with plantings dating back 60 years, well before the DO was established. Here, at over 800m above sea level, gnarled old bush vines root down through the boulder-strewn alluvial terraces of the Duero, yielding Tempranillo grapes of exceptional intensity and quality.

We have been in the Ribera del Duero since before the Ribera del Duero D.O. came into existence. Not just within the limits set by the Regulatory Council but following 2km of meandering riverbank. Our vineyards stand on soil covered in river pebbles and have been battling the area’s climatic conditions for 60 years.

Ribera del Duero

Dominio Fournier is intense and clean on the nose, with aromas of dark fruit, spicy notes and liquorice. On the palate it is fresh, elegant, well balanced and with a long finish.

The grapes are hand harvested, with the bunches that are in perfect health and at the perfect stage of ripeness. Each plot is vinified separately in small tanks. The wine from each tank is drawn off into barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation to promote the integration of the wood into the wine, colour stabilisation and tannic astringency. The wines spend at least 12 months in 90% French oak and 10% American oak barrels, with the average age of the used barrels being 2-4 years.
