Ricardo Dumas Crianza

Bodega Virgen de la Asunción, founded in 1957 by 70 local families in La Horra, Burgos, is a pioneering cooperative and one of the twelve founding members of the D.O. Ribera del Duero in 1982. The estate leverages ancient winemaking traditions in a village with underground cellars dating back to the 12th century. Operating under the philosophy that great wine starts in the vineyard, they focus on low-yielding, old bush-trained vines (up to 50 years old) grown at high altitudes of 800 to 850 meters. This unique terroir, characterized by an extreme continental climate and clay-sandy soils, yields grapes of exceptional concentration and character.
