How we began
Our Finca Villazán estate is located at the very heart of the Corazón del Camino de Santiago, wine country by history and tradition through time, distinguished for the creation of red wines full of personality and singularity thanks to the indigenous Prieto Picudo variety. This drives us to implement a project which combines the manufacturing of traditional wine with advanced technology in order to achieve maximum quality and expression.
Passion
Convinced that wine transcends, thrills and conquers, we wish to share our passion and love for wine in every bottle. Wine is a reflection of its mother strain and the enthusiasm and dedication that have gone into its production.
Winery Masters
The art of making wine comes from the thoroughness applied to each and every part of the production process. At our winery we provide a personal treatment to every wine, every tank, every vat, every bottle… because every single wine is unique. All of this is preceded by daily control and follow-up procedures at our estate’s vineyards.
