This region may not have a long winemaking history, but the team at Bodega Cerro San Cristobal is dedicated to creating exceptional wines that break away from traditional D.O. guidelines.

Three Friends with a Passion for Winemaking

Founded in 2000 by three friends—Jose Luis Becerra, Jose Antonio Moral, and Juan Leopoldo Rodriguez—Bodega Cerro San Cristobal is a testament to their shared passion for winemaking. They cultivate their own grapes, ensuring complete control over the winemaking process. The village is rich in history, featuring a mosque and stunning views, along with numerous walking trails and routes for mushroom and wine enthusiasts.
At Bodega Cerro San Cristobal, low yields are harvested to prioritize quality over quantity.

Natural Practices for Quality Wines

The region's ideal climate, soil, and rainfall create perfect conditions for vine cultivation. Bodega Cerro San Cristobal primarily uses local grape varieties, employing minimal human intervention and organic methods to nurture their vineyards. This approach not only supports environmental sustainability but also enhances the health of the vines. In their cellar, both American and French oak barrels are utilized to impart distinctive flavors and aromas to their wines. Key grape varieties include Colombard, Moscatel, Monastrell, Garnacha Tintorera, Syrah, Merlot, and Tintilla de Rota, with the finest grapes contributing to their acclaimed wines.
