The Estate

Founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda, with a Bordeaux-inspired approach and longtime focus on excellence. Acquired by the Álvarez family in 1982 (members of Primum Familiae Vini). Recognized for strict terroir mapping, sustainable practices, and extremely patient winemaking.

Wine Making

Fully manual harvest with strict selection, picked typically from mid-September to early October. Fermented with native-yeast fermentation and malolactic in wood. One of the world’s longest aged wines. Usually ~10 years total—initial barrel phase (French & American oak 225 L), then large oak vats (20,000 L), followed by lengthy bottle maturation (often 4–5 years)

Food Suggestions
