Our history

At Dominio de Montelahorra, we have spent more than six decades devoted to wine. Our history begins in 1957, when we were one of the first twelve wineries of Ribera del Duero. We are in La Horra (Burgos), a place with centuries of winegrowing tradition, where 12th-century underground cellars carved into the rock are still preserved.

We have grown up surrounded by vineyards, learning to care for them and to make wines that reflect the identity of our land. Thanks to this experience, today we offer wines with personality, expressing the unique character of the soil where they are born.

We own 200 hectares of vineyard, located in the very heart of the “Golden Triangle” of Ribera del Duero (Roa – La Horra – Gumiel de Mercado), at 800–850 metres of altitude. Most of our vines are bush-trained, following tradition, and we are fortunate to keep several plots that are more than 100 years old. These century-old vines, true treasures of viticulture, allow us to make wines of unrivalled depth and character, the fruit of generations of history in every vine.

Our winery combines the best of tradition and innovation. We work with French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels of different capacities (225, 300 and 500 litres), as well as 63 stainless-steel tanks of various sizes, which allows us to vinify everything from small lots of selected plots to larger productions, always respecting the identity of each vineyard.

We know that a good wine begins in the vineyard. Privileged soil, an exceptional climate and constant work throughout the year allow us to obtain grapes of the highest quality.

We are passionate about wine and work every day with dedication to preserve its quality and essence. Our goal is simple: for you to enjoy every glass and feel the soul of our land in every sip.

Today we bear the responsibility of caring for the legacy left to us by previous generations, honouring their effort and keeping the tradition alive, so that many more people can continue to enjoy our wines in the future.
