The Pinuaga Family has been making wine since 1960 following a minimal intervention philosophy, using natural and artisanal winemaking processes and recovering indigenous clones of Cencibel, (old clone of Tempranillo).
The quality of our wines is driven by the characteristic of the soils, age of vines, grape variety and organic farming practices; all of these parameters are present in every wine, making them singular and unique.
We work with pride and dedication to make sure that every vintage is better than the previous one, always keeping mind the singularity of each year and the expectations of our customers. Try our wines !
