Two Wineries & A River
The Rippa Dorii wines are hand-crafted from the Perez Cuevas Family’s (Bodegas Ontañón) wineries in Rueda and Ribera del Duero. Rippa Dorii in Rueda are white wines made from the indigenous Verdejo grape, and the red wines from the Ribera del Duero appellation express the supreme finesse of Tempranillo grown in a continental climate.
These two historic Castilian appellations are located on the banks of the Duero river, which is the largest in the Peninsula and the home of one of the world’s greatest winemaking traditions in Spain. Rueda and Ribera del Duero are two appellations with deep-rooted prestige and historical tradition in Spain. 100% estate fruit from sustainably-farmed vineyards.
In 2025, DOCa Rioja elected Raquel Pérez Cuevas as their first female president.
