Wines from Costa de Cantabria, the Cantabrian coast
A FAMILY-OWNED WINERY
IN EXCEPTIONAL SURROUNDINGS
Why not? This was the question we asked ourselves when we were gathered round a dining table with a newly-opened bottle of Txakoli…
That was the starting point for making this dream come true. Something which many thought was crazy, but it was a dream shared with our family and those friends who were still romantics. From there on we started believing in ourselves and working with the sole objective of seeing this dream become a reality.
And we cannot deny that he path has not always been smooth, but when you´re working at one of our vineyards, you look up at the horizon and see that Cantabrian sea, to the rest of the world the Atlantic Ocean, at times wild and grey, at others a calm blue-green, it´s only at that moment that you know that your dream, your mad idea, is more than justified.
Our location
You can find us in Ruiloba, a small town in western Cantabria, surrounded by the Picos de Europa mountain range and the Cantabrian Sea. A place which maintains its rural essence, but is at the same time open to its surroundings.
Our vineyards...
Adapting to the surroundings
All our vineyards are located less than 1 km from the sea, are north-facing and have slopes of more than 35%. The natural features of our vineyards may seem at first to complicate growing, but over the years we have been able to see that with smaller harvests, the quality and intensity of our grapes is increased to a maximum.

Mar de Fondo
Our wine
IGP Vinos de la Costa De Cantabria, wines labeled with the IGP from the coastal region in Cantabria.Our white wine is the result of a combination of our Riesling, Hondarrabi Zuri, Albariño and Godello grape varieties.
With an individualized elaboration in each of our vineyards, we are able to obtain the best from our soil. The sea influences the grape in such a magnificent way that the resulting product is a combination of a fresh and aromatic wine, at the same time subtle, of great elegance, complexity and balance, whose structure is a surprise to taste.
Tasting notes
Bright yellow in colour. In the nose, the predominant aromas are of citrus fruits, with notes of white flowers and minerals. On the palate, the feel is of a balanced, full-bodied wine with a good level of acidity and a finish characterised by its pleasant salinity. Cantabrian Sea in its essence.
This wine is perfect to pair with sea-treasures like fish or seafood. Its character is strong enough to remain intact if paired with rice or seafood pasta dishes, vegetables, many cured meats, white meat and cheeses.

IGP Costa de Cantabria Wines, wines labeled with the IGP from the coastal region in Cantabria.Our white wine Tussío is the result of a combination of our Hondarrabi Zuri and Albariño grape varieties.
Once again, the influence of the Cantabrian Sea creates a fresh and aromatic wine with a bright colour, which leaves its mark on our palate.
Tasting notes
Lemon coloured, with notable fruity, citric, apple and subtle floral aromas. In the mouth the feeling is fresh with a balanced and pleasant acidity.

Oureas
Exploring other designations
Exploring within this exciting world, among vines and bunches, among presses and barrels and with a real interest in bringing international projection to our winery, we considered the elaboration of our own red wine under one of the most internationally prestigious designations of origin: Rioja.The direction and altitude of this 6-hectare vineyard in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, as well as its characteristic clay and limestone soil provide the grapes with a unique ripening point that our oenologist recognised from the very beginning. Not satisfied with that, we made a very specific selection in order to produce a different wine, a special selection.
Only after 7 days of fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 15 days of maceration, 12 months of ageing in American oak barrels and 6 months ageing in bottles, is our wine ready to be sold: OUREAS.
Tasting notes
Its aromas strongly recall freshly ripened fruit, associated with subtle wooden notes which go perfectly with this style of wine.
Cherry-ruby coloured. Pleasant in the mouth from the beginning, with soft and light tannins, smooth and with a spicy note. A fresh and pleasant wine, generous and kind, with an extraordinary elegance and an amazing but balanced mouthfeel.
It’s the perfect wine to enjoy on its own or to pair with a range of meat stews, Mediterranean dishes, rice dishes, as well as white or red meat.
