About the Producer

Marqués de Velilla was founded in 1985 by the Segovian Hernández de Mercado family and is today among the most respected wineries in the Ribera del Duero appellation. In 1996 it was established in its current, permanent location in the small village of La Horra, where in 1989 the family had purchased one of the most spectacular properties in the region, Monte Villalobón. The estate covers an area of 800 hectares, vines had been grown on the land for many years and the previous owner was the religious community of La Sagrada Familia. Since 1998, Marqués de Velilla has produced wine exclusively from its own grapes, thanks to its 150 hectares of vineyard.
