The history of our Winery begins in 1956, when a
group of small winemakers from the Lerín area, convinced of the
potential of their vineyards, decided to join forces and create a
project whose main aim was the marketing of quality wines. Sharing
their vineyards, working hand in hand and using techniques passed on
from father to son since time immemorial, these entrepreneurs
together founded the Winery Bodegas Alconde. The Winery owns 510
hectares of vineyards in Navarra, located on privileged lands
ideally suited for growing grapevines. The vineyards are fortunate
in having chalky-clay, pebbly soils, the right sun exposure for the
grapes to ripen perfectly and a unique microclimate. Constant
attention to the vines and a meticulous selection process ensure the
best grapes are available to make topquality wines that earn
world-wide recognition year after year. The various elements cover a
total surface area of 8,500 square meters. The charm and
understatement of the original winery combine well with the
complexity of new structures equipped with cutting-edge technology.
The wood-ageing hall holds 2,300 French and American oak casks.
These are replaced every three years so that they may continue to
endow the wines with elegance and subtlety. The bottle- ageing area
has a capacity of one million bottles, lying there in serene
quietude until called for.
