Bodegas Hacienda El Ternero

About

Not just Wine, since the 11th Century. Boutique family winery in a 250 hectares enclave of Castile in the heart of Rioja Alta, surrounded by forests of spruce trees and Piceas, at an average altitude of 700 meters. The origins of Hacienda El Ternero date back to 1077, when it belonged to the Santa Maria de Herrera Monastery. In the heart of the hacienda, buildings from the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries now house the winery, which used to work as Monastery, headquarters, school and Hospital for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. In the centre of the Hacienda our little chapel remains open to shelter our patron Saint, the Virgin of the Pera. We produce our wines using only the grapes from our own estate vineyards (120 hectares), harvesting them by hand and selecting them vine by vine, to preserve in each botlle the reflection of our unique terroir.
