Lopez de Heredia
When D. Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta began building his winery in 1877, he never could have imagined that his masterpiece would one day be widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest wine estates. Like many medieval masterpieces, the buildings stand below and above ground - a veritable “Cathedral to wine.” As with cathedrals of the past, work on building the winery is never-ending, with every successive member of the family taking on the task of completing an aspect of the founder's original vision. Today the estate covers roughly 13 acres, with each generation leaving their mark on the winery, while continuing a traditional winemaking approach.
