Dehesa La Granja
THE UNION BETWEEN WINE AND PRODUCE FROM THE LAND
In 1988, the Fernández Rivera family expanded their vision by reviving a three-century-old estate: Dehesa La Granja. Located in Vadillo de Guareña, this site is a true agricultural tapestry where winemaking, livestock, and farming meet.
Here, the family produces more than just wine; they craft cured cheeses, grow chickpeas, and extract premium Extra Virgin olive oil. Yet, the heart of the estate remains the vine, where Tempranillo grapes are grown and aged in American oak, consistent with the family’s high standards.
The soul of Dehesa La Granja lies beneath the surface: a 3,000-square-meter underground cave hand-carved in 1750. This historic labyrinth provides an unparalleled environment for cellaring their noble, intense wines.
This commitment to the land is the hallmark of Familia Fernández Rivera. Recently celebrating 50 years as pioneers of the Ribera del Duero, the legacy started by Alejandro Fernández and Esperanza Rivera now spans 70 countries and four prestigious wineries. Today, led by three generations of women, the family continues to bridge the gap between 18th-century tradition and modern innovation.
