Architects Foster + Partners have completed a winery clad in Corten steel shingles in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain.
Called Faustino Winery, the three arms of the concrete structure each house a stage of production; fermentation, ageing in oak barrels and ageing in bottles.
The parts of the building containing the wine barrels are partly embedded into the ground to provide the best conditions for maturing the wine whilst the fermentation wing is exposed, allowing carbon dioxide to be released.
A road rises to the roof of the structure where harvested grapes are collected.
Inside the building a glazed mezzanine stretches deep into the wings and provides views of each area and the different processes occuring within.
The 12,500 square-metre facility has a production capacity of one million bottles per year.
