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.
Our Winemaker
To create the best wines, we combine science with technology and winemakers who put all their knowledge into each brand, with dedication and passion.
María Barúa
Her first step in the world of wines was studying chemistry and oenology. She has held the position of winemaker at Bodegas LAN since 2002. Since María believes everything begins with winegrowing, her work starts with the vines, which she monitors meticulously throughout the year. She places great importance in the choice of the oak, demanding that it respect and enhance the wine’s innate qualities. As a technical manager since 2007, she is in charge of creating some of LAN's most emblematic wines such as D-12 and, more recently, LAN Xtrème Organic and more recently, LAN 7 metros.
