The legacy of experience

The legacy of our tradition is expressed with clarity and typicity in these old, beautiful vineyards of the Castilian plateau, giving rise to outstanding white wines from Rueda. Singular wines shaped by the land, the sun and our hands — a true reflection of our history.

Finca La Colina

Located in the municipality of La Seca, at the heart of the Rueda D.O., this estate is one of the most important and beautiful in the area, home to some of the oldest Viura, Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc vines in the entire appellation.

Accessed through a picturesque avenue of almond trees and surrounded by vineyards set on distinctive stony soils, the estate leads to its heart, where, atop a small hill, stands a house nestled within a magnificent pine grove, offering sweeping views over part of this unique vineyard site.

We apply technology in a measured way, beginning with prior soil analysis, correcting any deficiencies when detected, and monitoring ripeness through successive sampling in order to determine the optimal moment for harvest.

In our commitment to preserving tradition and achieving the highest quality, we maintain old vineyards with low yields but exceptional quality, combined with new plantings.

Our grape varieties

Brown soils shaped by the waters of the majestic Duero River, well-tended vineyards set on a plateau of gentle contours, and small, thriving villages devoted to winemaking — this is Rueda and these are its grape varieties.

Verdejo

Today regarded as a symbol of Rueda, it is a native grape variety of the region.

A vigorous, horizontally growing vine with early to mid-season budbreak and ripening. It produces small clusters with a visible peduncle and medium-to-small berries. The leaves are orbicular, medium-sized, dark green in colour and slightly glossy.

Its wines show notes of wild herbs and subtle fruity nuances, with a gently rounded perception due to their alcohol strength, balanced by excellent acidity.

Sauvignon blanc

This variety, one of the most sought-after white wine grapes in the world, originates from France, although it has adapted exceptionally well to the terroir of Rueda.

It is an early-budding vine with rapid flowering, and its clusters are small and compact.

It requires loose, fertile soils with good drainage and no tendency to waterlogging.

Viura

A reliable companion variety. Known as Macabeo in other parts of Spain, it has large, orbicular leaves with a slightly rough, downy underside.

It produces medium to large clusters with very spherical berries and a sweet-and-tart juice, which ripens more slowly.

Tempranillo

Also known as Tinto Fino or Tinto Madrid, it is distinguished by its compact clusters and medium-sized berries with thick skins, which provide intense colour and a good concentration of aromas.

Its early ripening and balance between acidity and tannins make it ideal for both young wines and barrel-aged styles.
