The Value of Family and Terroir
"Wines with soul: the most elegant, precise, and balanced interpretation of Ribera del Duero and Toro."
The Philosophy of Respect for the Soil
Founded in 2002 by Javier Alonso and María del Yerro, Alonso del Yerro Vineyards has established itself as a benchmark of modernity and elegance in Roa, Burgos. Under the umbrella of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, their mission is to create single-vineyard wines that reflect the geological diversity of their plots. With the support of renowned French consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt, the winery has redefined the profile of Tempranillo to sublime levels of finesse.

In the Paydos project, under the D.O. Toro, the family applies their sensitivity to Tinta de Toro. The result breaks paradigms: power tamed by unusual sophistication, highlighted by the Peñín Guide among the best in the region.
