Agro-Urdiense is a family winery with roots in Villanueva de Ávila, being the fifth generation of winemakers, with a project based on a model that has as its objectives and values the respect for nature and the expression of the uniqueness of the Garnacha grape and the land. It aims to maintain artisanal production methods and a relentless pursuit of product quality offered by our vineyards with granite soils and higher rainfall, planted at an altitude of almost 1070 m in the Sierra de Gredos in the years 1912, 1942 and 1970, all of them worked manually and fertilized with organic matter. The project also focuses on the creation of wealth in the area of origin and active participation in social and cultural initiatives. As a result, we aim to maintain controlled production, bottling an average of less than 10,000 bottles of each vintage each year.
The highest production is of our red Urdiense wine, with an average of 3000bt/year
