OUR
WINERIES
The beginning of the professional
involvement of the Frutos Villar family in the
wine market is to be traced back to the dawning
of this century, when on a purely local basis we
bought up and sold wine
from the region of Toro.
Well before the officially
demarcated wine regions of Spain, the so-called “Denominaciones de
Origen” or “DOs”, came into being,
we set up our first winery at Toro in 1920. True
to our ideal of renewal and progress, in 1960 we
established our second winery in Cigales. Upon
the consolidation of the demarcated regions,
in 1988 the Frutos Villar
family purchased Bodegas Santa Eulalia, a winery
belonging to the Ribera del Duero region.
At Bodegas Frutos
Villar, whilst continuing to make great wines
at those of our own vineyards
not belonging to any “Denominación
de Origen”, and in an endeavour to encompass
all the demarcated regions of Castilla, in 1990
we began to market wines from the Rueda “DO”.
