Vineyards from Frutos Villar Wineries

In a constant concern for the quality of our wines, 100 hectares of vineyards are acquired in Cigales, where a select group of wine growers from the area contribute the rest of the grapes needed after passing a thorough control by our winery.

The rippling of the terrain is light, although it affords the protection of a vineyard capable of slow ripening. This is why its best known wines are aromatic rosés, with a peculiar flavor resulting from the assemblage of great number of varieties such as verdejo, tempranillo, albillo and garnacha. On the other hand, red wines come from the tempranillo variety.

The wines produced in the Ribera del Duero come from 160 hectares of carefully selected vineyards belonging to 51 winemakers encouraged to participate in the Ribera del Duero project of the Frutos Villar family.

Located in a special area, facing the river Duero, and protected by its basin, our vineyards are planted in alluvial soils. It is in these settlements where more investments and the planting of new vineyard  have made the Santa Eulalia Wineries.

The plantations are arranged in two formations: gobelet with spur pruning and trellis with cordon pruning.

Our vineyards produce different varieties, the main one is the Tempranillo or “Tinta de la Tierra”, then Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec.

The centuries-old experience in the Toro region, along with the effort, dedication and hard work of Frutos Villar has been rewarded with the fidelity of the winemakers of the area who own the highest quality vineyards that, together with the family’s own 99 hectares, contribute the raw material needed to produce the best of this land.

With a barren terrain that retains the heat and a southern and sunny vineyard, this area is perhaps the oldest red wine area in Spain. Its red wines are warm, with a great tannin and color and a very tasty palate.

It has been chosen to acquire 71 hectares of vineyard and create the Don Frutos and Tasco brands, which will serve to produce a wine of great quality and strong personality, despite not being attached to any Designation of Origin.

Our concern leads us to invest both in technological assets and in the acquisition of vineyards, in order to go beyond year after year and satisfy the needs of our most demanding clients.
