VOLCANIC WINES OF ORIGIN AND ROOTS TO DISCOVER
The peculiarity of our volcanic terroir of basalt and quartzite, surrounded by undergrowth of chaparros, rockrose, jaguar, broom, thyme and rosemary; and the almost obsessive care, from the vineyard to your table, results in a wine in which you will discover nuances and aromas that will surprise you.
A wine raised at the foot of the “Oppida” Oretano of the Cerro de Las Cabezas.
Because wine is an accumulation of experiences…
and culture
Wines La Encomienda takes you to the Iberian origin of Oretania.
Located near the Cerro de las Cabezas Archaeological Center, our vineyard shares the volcanic landscape with what was one of the most important Iberian tribes of pre-Roman times.
.
HIMILCE
Viognier of intense pale yellow color with greenish reflections, which takes the name of the princess Íbero-Oretana, who lived in Castulo, and in an alliance between cultures married Aníbal Barca, a Carthaginian General nicknamed “The Lion of Carthage”.
ORETANO
A coupage of Cencibel, Syrah and Cabernet franc in a vivid cherry color with an intense ruby rim, which takes its name from the pre-Roman tribes settled in the center of the peninsula and close to the “oppida oretano” of Cerro de las Cabezas.
ORISSÓN
A blend of Cencibel, Syrah and Cabernet franc grapes, limited edition to 3.263 numbered bottles, ruby red in color with a medium-high layer, bright and clear. It takes its name from the famous Iberian warrior of the Oretana tribe

FROM THE ORETAN LAND…
OUR WINES ARE BORN
“They invites us to confess intimacies, to write poems and to rave dreams. And so, he transforms those who transfer it into gods and those who make it into wise deities…”.
Héctor Huertas Camacho.
What makes us special?
Volcanic land
On a volcanic and stony soil there is a natural symbiosis of nutrients and minerals that determine that our wines have unique and special nuances.
Altitude of 804 meters
In the middle of the La Mancha plateau, whose altitude is 610 meters. emerges, like a giant, a set of elevations and promontories that determine with their thermal amplitude the development and maturation of the grape.
Mediterranean low forest
Vineyard wrapped around its perimeter by the lower Mediterranean forest, dotted with chaparros where rockrose, thyme, rosemary and lavender slowly contribute their aromas, day after day … grape by grape.

La propuesta es más que interesante, en más de un sentido. Primero por un contenido que da valor a un producto, el vino, al que por estas latitudes cuesta mucho valorizar; y segundo por un continente que es todo un acierto en términos de marketing y una apuesta por nuestra paleocultura más próxima, digno por reconocer. Felicidades y éxito.

No sé si me gustan más los vinos o cómo cuentan las historias, su historia, los dos hermanos que están haciendo puro arte en un suelo volcánico con muchos conceptos sorprendentes, conocimiento de la viña y gran tino enológico. Me gustan, y tengo muchas ganas de poder ir a visitar la bodega en persona!

Soy amante de una buena copa de vino en el momento oportuno, y puedo garantizar que hay mas sabiduría en una botella de uno de estos vinos que en muchos libros. Simplemente genial, sorprendido por el sabor y la historia. Lo recomiendo.
