Bodega la Era is a family project in the heart of Alcarria, built around a beautiful Mediterranean garden.
We are guardians of a century-old ecosystem. We work 4 hectares of vineyards, some of which are over 90 years old, to obtain the best grapes and, at the same time, regenerate and enrich the ecosystem that sustains them. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, systemic treatments or chemical fertilizers. We carry out ecological treatments only when necessary, which means that we are always in the vineyard observing and understanding.
We work in an artisanal way, vinifying each plot and each variety of grape without pre-established recipes, paying attention to our experience and intuition, trying to preserve the particularity of our land and each vintage with minimal intervention.
The result is small vintages of unique wines
