Valdecontina
h e P r o j c t
Our vineyard and winery are located in the Valdecontina site, on the north slope of the Boeza River valley as it passes through the town of Albares de la Ribera, in the municipality of Torre del Bierzo, in the province of León. Its origins date back to the 9th century with the settlement of the Monastery of Santa María and San Martín.
Valdecontina is located on the former vineyards of Don Antolín Lopez, Archbishop of Tarragona in the early 20th century. There, he planted approximately 4 hectares of vineyards with different varieties and built a tower with two stables around this area. Nowadays, this tower, which offers unique views over our vineyard and the slope of the valley, constitutes the image on which the whole project is developed.
