The Winery can be found on the La Rinconada estate, an extraordinary and picturesque natural landscape in the Castronuño region (Valladolid) where the river Duero flows in the form of a sickle to form the shape of the land on which the estate sits (hence the name – rinconada means cornered or cut-off in Spanish).

Quality is prioritised over quantity, implementing green pruning when necessary and meticulously selecting grapes both in the vineyard and winery. Grapes are chilled to 3°C post -harvest to prevent oxidation and enhance aroma and colour extraction. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, and wines are aged in French oak barrels with regular racking.
