Caserio de Duenas

Caserío de Dueñas, a singular estate of almost 300 hectares of vineyard in one of the highest quality zones of the Rueda Designation of Origin.  It is a unique location, where a profound harmony and a great respect for the land have survived throughout time. Caserío de Dueñas is not only a manor house but also a chapel. It is living testimony to a unique way of making wine, a different reading of the land in an estate that is truly unique in the area, bringing together best practice in both the vineyards and the winery.

Its history dates back to the start of the 17th Century when these fields were home to a small farming village. In 1800, after Godoy's land disentailment act, the hamlet was transformed into a large estate in which vineyards were planted gradually. Over the decades, more and more land was turned over to vines as they proved ideally suited to the area.

Today, in the hands of a team led by Almudena Alberca, Caserío de Dueñas practices a viticulture capable of making the most of the essential values of this location: the proximity and alignment between the vines and the winery, producing wines that are the strongest expression of contemporary knowledge that seeks freshness, complexity and balance.
