Together with the 575 hectares included in appellation Navarra (50 hectares owned and 525 hectares controlled)., the company sums up a total of 1.525 hectares.
One of the main assets of Manzanos Wines is the wide extension of own vineyard. Each area and each valley of the Rioja land have unique features. These features widely depend on the relation between the climate, the ground and the vineyard. Not to forget about the importance of the production and elaboration techniques that are imposed by our technical team. Both factors together determine the singularity of each wine.
Our vineyards are distributed throughout different municipalities, it allows the exploitation of the different lands as well as the differences of each variety of grape.
HISTORY
Wine is considered to be the link that joins people together, friends and family. That is what has happened in Fernández de Manzanos family, since they have known how to preserve and how to consolidate this ancient culture during more than 128 years. After more than a century related with the wine culture, the fifth generation of this family is the one who takes the lead of Manzanos Wines.
The brothers Víctor and David Fernández de Manzanos, as well as Victor´s wife, Laura Mateo, are the visible faces of the wine division of Manzanos Enterprises. Nevertheless, the history of this family goes back to the XX century. Since then, they have become such a big wine group thanks to their effort and their good practices growing the vineyards and elaborating wine.
Since these three entrepreneur youngsters arrived, there has been an exponential growth of the sales and there has been an increase of their presence in the international market (exceeding more than 65 countries) in less than three years.
