About

Bodegas Cruz Conde is located in the very center of Andalusia, concretely in Montilla-Moriles wine region (Córdoba). The wines produced here are those with high alcohol content, commonly called "vinos generosos" (generous wines). They are of the same type as in Sherry region, but due to the terroir differences Montilla-Moriles wines have their own very special character. The winery was founded in 1902 by Don Rafael Cruz Conde, the army commandant from a famous cordovan family. Already in 1925 Bodegas Cruz Conde was recognized on the national level, as the king of Spain Alfonso XIII named it Official Supplier of the Royal House. Among all the wineries of the D.O. Montilla-Moriles this is the only one which has a subterranean cellar ("El sótano") for its wines aging. This unique underground cellar along with other important parts of the winery can be visited during the guided tour&tasting.
