Viña Mayor
Welcome to Nueva Ribera
Viña Mayor is the symbol of the contemporary Ribera. The voice of a nonconformist and demanding generation that redefines winemaking under new principles. Since 1986, Bodegas Viña Mayor has been a pioneer in the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin, a region that has grown significantly in recent years and is now the second-largest red wine designation in Spain.
In addition to Ribera del Duero, the brand is also present in neighboring Rueda with Verdejo, the region’s signature grape variety.
