Would you love to have you own “house wine”? We are pleased to offer again this year that you take advantage and buy your own barrel of Qubél 2009. This reservation, the equivalent of 300 bottles, permits you to acquire our wine at a very special price.
Also, as a true wine lover, you can experience of the wine evolves over time. How does it work? With the reservation now of 300 bottles, the price is fixed at 12 € (without tax) per bottle, a substantial savings versus the eventual market release price of our Nature (crianza). We ask for 50% to be paid to guarantee the reservation. Later, when the wine has finished its barrel ageing and is ready to be bottled, we will contact you to arrange the delivery of the wine and final payment. Consult us about the option of a personalized label.

The latest press tour arranged by the ICEX and the D.O. Vinos de Madrid saw the arrival of wine writers from Ireland. Thanks to the work of these two organizations for introducing us to Raymond Blake of Food & Wine Magazine, Helen Coburn who collaborates with Shelflife, Katherine Donnelly of the Irish Independent and John Wilson of the Irish Times Newspaper. Of course Mackenway, our Irish importer, will be happy they these professionals got a chance to taste in the winery.

We also received a visit from Hyuck Kim, a wine writer from Korea, who is currently doing research for guide book to Spanish wine that he hopes to publish soon. He has already penned a guide to French and Italian wines.
The wine tourism market has reactivated. Visits from Chinese, Dutch, German, Finnish and Swedish groups have kept us busy in the last few months. These lucky groups came during harvest time and were able to see the vineyard in all of its splendor and the winery in action. Its gratifying to see guests enjoy trying a recently fermented wine for the first time.
