Introduction to Conde de Siruela Winery

As part of Bodegas Frutos Villar, Conde de Siruela Winery carries forward a legacy of fine winemaking in D.O. Ribera del Duero, one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. With winemaking roots dating back to ancient times, Ribera del Duero has been home to vineyards since the pre-Roman era, with both the Vaccei and Arevaci peoples cultivating vines long before the arrival of the Romans.

Situated in La Horra, Burgos, an area known for its high-altitude vineyards (802m) and exceptional grape quality, Conde de Siruela Winery produces structured, elegant wines that capture the essence of Ribera del Duero’s terroir. With a careful balance of tradition and innovation, our wines showcase intensity, complexity, and longevity, hallmarks of the region’s best vintages.

The History of Conde de Siruela Winery

The foundation of Winery Santa Eulalia in 1950 marked the beginning of our journey in D.O. Ribera del Duero. Over the decades, we have continuously refined our craft, investing in both modern technology and traditional winemaking methods to enhance the depth and character of our wines.

Our 210 hectares of vineyards, combined with 1,500 carefully selected French and American oak barrels, allow us to create wines that honor both heritage and innovation. Under the expertise of renowned enologist Nuria Peña Albillo, we ensure that each bottle of Conde de Siruela embodies the prestige and excellence of Ribera del Duero.
