Bodega

Currently, the fourth generation of the family controls and crafts the wines, aiming for excellence in the most classic flavors and styles of the region. Their vineyards are located between San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Ábalos, in the Sonsierra region of Rioja. These are small plots without irrigation, with manual harvesting and pruning. Winemaking practices in the cellar combine traditional techniques passed down from parents to children in our family with innovative methods introduced by the new generation.

It’s hard to trace exactly when this family from Badarán first became involved in viticulture and winemaking—it’s a legacy that runs deep. Their winery is home to exceptional vineyards set on a prime plain near San Millán de la Cogolla, in the Alto Najerilla region of Rioja Alta, an area renowned for its ideal conditions for grape growing. Thanks to the distinctive combination of soil, altitude, and climate, they craft a diverse range of wines that embody a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable viticulture.

Bodega familiar de Murillo de Río Leza, a 420 metros de altitud en un pequeño valle entre el Iregua y el Leza. En 2008, Juan Bautista García, hijo de Paco, comenzó a elaborar vinos más modernos, afrutados y golosos al paladar que hoy gozan de un elevado prestigio y reconocimiento. De las 40 hectáreas de viñedo propio, se obtiene la producción para elaborar sus tintos: Paco García Reserva, Paco García Crianza, Paco García Seis y Beautiful Things.

This family-run winery traces its roots back through four generations of winegrowers. Carmelo Ezquerro, great-grandson and current owner, is firmly committed to showcasing the unique character of Tudelilla—a historic village that still preserves the largest area of dry-farmed vineyards in all of Rioja. His century-old vines are located in La Pedriza, where the stony soils impart a strong sense of place and distinct regional identity to the wines.

The family, long dedicated to viticulture, decided in 1998 to build a winery in the town of Galilea, nestled in the Ocón Valley (Central Rioja), to craft wines exclusively from their own vineyards. The wines of Nestares Eguizábal embody the unique character of their four estates, cultivated in a high-altitude region (between 520 and 650 meters) with extremely poor, clay-limestone and stony soils—conditions that give rise to wines with remarkable personality and distinct identity.

Navarrsotillo was a pioneer in bringing organic viticulture to Rioja and today produces exclusively certified organic wines from its own vineyards in Calahorra and along the Ebro riverbanks in La Rioja and Navarra, in villages belonging to the DOCa Rioja. Brothers Andrés and Ramón Serrano offer a broad portfolio that includes both modern and traditional Rioja styles, as well as a distinctive collection of single-varietal wines made from Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo.

In the early 20th century, Juan Leza began his journey into the world of wine. Today, his descendants carry on the legacy in Uruñuela—a privileged enclave in the Najerilla Valley, at the heart of Rioja Alta—where they cultivate their own vineyards to produce a distinctive range of wines with character and personality. This unique identity is reflected across their diverse portfolio of brands: Valdepalacios, Nube, Leza García, LG, Vilicus, and Arderius.

Baños de Río Tobía, in Alto Najerilla, is home to this peculiar, small-scale project. Ad Libitum (My Way) consists of 5.5 hectares of sustainable vineyards where native grape varieties like Maturana red and white or Tempranillo white are grown. Peña El Gato is a series of limited edition wines made from centuries-old local Garnacha grapes. Juan Carlos Sancha is devoted to making signature wines that express the terroir.
