Janus is the true embodiment of the essence of Ribera del Duero. It symbolises the past and the future of Familia Fernández Rivera, the vineyard and drive. It’s a full-bodied, fruity and elegant wine with roasted notes and a long finish whose grapes come from one of our most special plots, La Rendeja. It’s only made in special vintages for the winery.

DESCRIPTION
Within the municipal boundaries of Pesquera de Duero, facing south at an altitude of more than 800 metres.
SOIL
Limestone soil, with its characteristic white colour. Limestone soils have low fertility but the presence of clay and silt enables them to hold more water. These two characteristics complement each other to obtain optimal ripening with yields suited to the qualitative needs of the grapes.
CLIMATE
Very harsh, long and cold winters, and short, dry and hot summers. The 2018 was rated “Very Good” by the Regulatory Board of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin and the Extraordinary Committee on Harvest Assessment.
