Located in the Jewish quarter of Labastida, the winery and family home are composed of four houses. In the earth beneath them exists a framework of four
different caves dating back to the 1400s, an excellent space for the cellaring of the wines.

Rioja. Ranging from 35-50 years old, these vineyards, all surrounding the hamlet of Labastida, offer different soil types (calcareous, clay, and many
