Respect for the professional past and present of Cuevas Jiménez is clear right from the choice of the FERRATUS brand name for the wines from this family, who come from Ribera del Duero. The iron and steel structure running across the façade of their functional, contemporary winery represents a letter F written backwards and this logo has become increasingly well recognised on the Spanish winemaking scene. Although the Latin FERRATUS can be translated "iron clad", the family's original objective was not to make strong wines, but rather to make the most elegant wines in Ribera del Duero. With the F of finesse. With the F of future. A bold approach which father and son Pedro and Enrique Cuevas entrusted to a woman, María Luisa, Pedro's daughter and Enrique's brother respectively and a former city lawyer. She took up the great challenge of getting avant-garde wines with a feminine soul from the heart of La Ribera. She was the only person who could interpret such a far-reaching message, establishing a new generation and a new gender in the area. Pure sensitivity and philosophy. Who now remembers Ferratus as wines of iron strength? FANTASTIC, FABULOUS, FERRATUS.

“The family's ambition was none other than to make the most elegant wines in Ribera del Duero”
