The Bodegas López Cristóbal winery is the result of a family dream to start a winery, which was realized by Santiago López and his wife Lola Cristóbal. The Bodegas López Cristóbal winery was founded in 1994 on the same farm Santiago's father had started Ribera del Duero. Today, both of his children, Galo and Francisco, have taken leading roles at this winery.
The winery consists of 50 hectares of grapevines, of which 48 are Tempranillo (Tinta del País). The remaining two hectares are Merlot and Albillo grapes. These 9 different vineyards feature different soil compositions, which provide excellent minerality for their wines.
