DAVID MORENO
Wisdom, effort, calm
Two generations together in the love for our terroir, the vineyards and the desire to share their wines.
THE DREAM
David Moreno decided to quit his job as a Technical engineer in Barceolna to return his hometown and put in practice his wine knowledge that is a heritage of his father and grandfather, and make his dream come true.
1981
CONSTRUCTION OF THE WINERY
The construction of the current winery has been expanded little by little, being adapted to the growth of the business, the new technologies and the needs of our clients. A project, a winery; finally a dream that has been shaped step by step with much effort and above all, much passion.
1988
THE PHILOSOPHY
To be open for our clients has always been the philosophy of the winery. The term Wine Tourism has always had a special meaning for David Moreno, because for us it has been important even when it was not something usual at all. Now our winery is one of the leaders in this field.
1988 – nowadays
1991- 1998- 2013 are the years in which our cellars were born. The undergroud cellars with clay and stone walls called “Don Pociano” (1991), “La Gran Cueva” (1997), and “Abuelo Damian” (2013), give to our wines the best conditions of temperature and humidity that are necessary for its correct ageing and conservation in the bottle. There is a corner in “La Gran Cueva” where we will find “El Santuario Vobiscum” (the Vobiscum Sanctuary), a lattice space that keeps a small lot of barriques of the best French oak, where our Vobiscum is aged, signature wine. From the garden of the centenary olive trees and the shop to the cellars, the walk through the winery will show the visitor many corners and spots that speak about our history, culture and passion of David Moreno about wine.
1991–1998–2013
GEMMA MORENO & PAULA MORENO
Gemma and Paula get involved in the winery following the steps of their father, their best master and example of hardwork and passion. At the same time they are continuing their studies in Wine and Management.
Nowadays both of them, with David, are managing the winery continuing the family legacy and the project that has been reached with so much effort. One of the Rioja wineries best known for its wine tourism, which gathering tradition and innovation maintains its wine range and adds new exciting proposals. Passion and soul go hand in hand putting together two generations with lots of love for the wine tradition.
