01. Ferratus: The Modern Peak of Ribera del Duero
In this prestigious setting stands Bodega Cuevas Jiménez, led by María Luisa Cuevas, a pioneering project based on the extreme finesse of old Tempranillo from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, creator of the acclaimed Ferratus range. Located in Gumiel de Izán, one of the highest altitude and highest quality areas of the appellation, this winery combines a contemporary vision with scrupulous respect for traditional Ribera terroir.
Each low-yield vineyard plot is harvested by hand in small crates to preserve the absolute integrity of the grape. Ferratus wines stand out for their magnificent balance between the concentrated power of black fruit, the elegance of a measured aging in new French and American oak, and a fresh natural acidity that grants them exceptional longevity.

02. The Oenological Philosophy of Bodega Cuevas Jiménez
The international success of Ferratus rests on three pillars of technical precision and winemaking passion:
Old Vineyards at Extreme Altitude
The Tempranillo (Tinta del País) vines used for the Ferratus range are between 60 and over 80 years old, planted in clay-limestone soils at over 860 meters above sea level. The marked thermal oscillation between day and night favors slow ripening and incomparable aromatic concentration.
Custom Aging in Selected Oaks
Unlike standardized aging, each Ferratus label receives personalized treatment in cooperage. Fine-grained French oak barrels and medium-toasted American oak are used, always respecting the primacy of fresh, ripe fruit.
Cutting-Edge Female Leadership
María Luisa Cuevas imbued the project with a unique sensibility from its foundation, creating red wines that combine the historical power of the Duero with modern tannic finesse, tactile elegance, and subtlety.
