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.

Tasting Notes
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.
History
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 areas climatic conditions for 60 years.

Vinification Details
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.
