Bodegas Briones Baniandrés, S.L.

The Briones and Baniandrés names are synonymous with a longstanding vine-growing and winemaking tradition, now in its fourth generation. As children, our forebears taught us to love the vineyards, witnessing as we did the stages of growth of the grapes and the care with which they were treated, as well as appreciating the fine taste of the must, the first product in the winemaking process. The wine cellar is hidden among our vineyards in a historical setting that tourists can visit, a place that lies in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region, between the villages of Quintanamanvirgo and Guzmán. State-of-the-art technology has been installed in the winery, along with other top quality resources to ensure the production of a great wine: Apricus. Years of hard work and a belief in carefully cultivating our vineyards, searching for the right land and the most suitable layout (north-south), fondly caring for the vines, waiting for just the right moment for pruning, thinning, and selecting the clusters, and, finally, picking the grapes, mean we’re always striving to make the most of what we have in order to get the best quality from our grapes. Tempranillo accounts for 90% of our harvest with the remaining 10% equally divided between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
