Finca La Capilla Crianza Ribero del Duero

Enrique Forner, father of Cristina who is the current President of the family group, traded with wines since he was a child. His grandfather and father founded 'Vinícola Forner' in 1920, a family business located in Sagunto (Valencia) and dedicated to the production, marketing and export of wines from the area.

Exiled to France during the Civil War,  Enrique  began in the family vineyard located in the Minervois (southeast of France) and later launched in 1952 as a wine merchant in the Rhone and Loire Valleys (France). At the end of 1962, he ceded those two operations to buy in 1963 two Châteaux in the Haut-Médoc (Bordeaux) - Château Larose Trintaudon and Château Camensac, Grand Cru Classé with the desire to produce some of the best wines in the world.

In 1968, he returned to Spain, his native country and, as a century earlier when Bordeaux winemakers and merchants landed in La Rioja fleeing from phylloxera, Forner chose the town of Cenicero in the heart of that prestigious Denomination to continue his great dream.
