The Masaveu family first invested in the wine sector in 1974, when they purchased Bodegas Murua, however the family’s first vineyards date back to the middle of the 19th century, precisely in Castellar del Vallés where the family originally comes from and where Federico Masaveu Rivell began a journey to be continued one century later by his descendants. Since then, Masaveu Bodegas has grown to become a benchmark in the sector, due to the quality of their winemaking in different DO´s and their sustainable philosophy and utmost respect for the land, in their estate owned vineyards, thanks to which they transmit the unique personality of each terroir in each and every bottle. This is the common denominator in each and every project initiated by Bodegas Masaveu in different parts and regions of the country: Murua (DOCa Rioja), Fillaboa (DO Rias Baixas), Pagos de Araiz (DO Navarra), Leda (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León) and Valverán (Asturias).
