HISTORY

This exciting project dates back to the 19th century when the wine was made in the underground cellars in the homes of the families of the current owners. In 1986, a group of brave entrepreneurs was driven by the spirit of innovation that prevailed in a region where the first signs could be seen of its superb potential to produce quality and modern wines, basically thanks to the soil and favorable climate. They, therefore, decided to band together to build Vinicola de Tomelloso. They have been driven even since then by the sole purpose of making and marketing quality wines.

DO LA MANCHA

La Mancha is an ideal area for growing grapes because the yield per hectare is not very high and of premium quality. La Mancha is also the largest wine region in the world with around 300,000 hectares of vineyards within its area of production, of which only about 165,000 are able to produce wines with "designation of origin”, it is one of the most welcomed vineyards across Europe with DO.
