HISTORY AND TRADITION

The winery was founded in 1910 by the grandfather and this is where the wine was made up until 1978, when another winery was built at the village entrance by the present owner and his father. In 2005, the new project was undertaken in Laguardia, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria.
All the grapes come from the winery’s vineyard, which covers an area of 30 hectares, and the vineyards belonging to other members of the family, all of which are situated between Laguardia and Elvillar, in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa. We are proud of the quality of our vineyards, some of which are 100 years old, while the rest have an average age of over 40.
Time makes its natural selection and also ensures a responsible grape and wine-growing practice committed to achieving the quality that we seek in this project, reducing the number of grapes but considerably increasing their quality, given that the age of the stocks makes the fruit scarcer. Ownership of the land allows makes it possible to guarantee the quality of the wine by controlling the soils, looking after the stocks and constantly examining the grapes in order to pick them at just the right time.
