WHERE DREAMS ARE BORN
D.O.Cª Rioja
In Rioja, we have 205 ha of or own vineyards, over 40 years old. They are located at singular sites around the D.O.Ca and they stand out for their altitude as well as their proximity to the mountainsides.
In addition, we grow another 900 ha of vineyards with whose owners we have a very close relationship.

D.O Rueda
In 2016, we opened our own bodega in the D.O. Rueda with a clear aim: to express the typical flavours and aromas of the region’s varieties.
In a unique location, at an altitude of 770m, lies Finca Las Amedias – 60 ha of vineyard where the varieties Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc are grown.
