Bodegas Palacio: A Legacy of Rioja Winemaking

Rich History and Tradition

Bodegas Palacio, nestled at the base of Laguardia between the Ebro River and the Sierra de Cantabria, has a storied history that dates back to 1894 when Cosme Palacio took the helm. Under his leadership, the winery has thrived, maintaining a vibrant family spirit while embracing modern winemaking techniques. This harmonious blend of tradition and innovation is evident in every bottle, showcasing the unique terroir and the stunning natural landscape of the region.

Exceptional Winemaking Practices

The true treasure of Bodegas Palacio lies in its vineyards, which benefit from the protective embrace of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains. The high-altitude vineyards feature clay-chalky soils and a microclimate influenced by both Mediterranean and Atlantic conditions, creating an ideal environment for growing Tempranillo and Viura grapes. These varietals are the foundation for their acclaimed red, white, and sparkling wines. Each grape undergoes meticulous selection, and individual parcels are vinified separately. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, allowing for extended maceration that enhances their complexity.

Commitment to Sustainability

Bodegas Palacio is dedicated to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. As part of the ACCIONA group, the winery prioritizes sustainable development and the economic well-being of the region. They are also proud partners of the Wineries for Climate Protection project, reflecting their commitment to addressing climate change. Visitors to the winery can experience the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle of wine produced in the heart of Rioja Alavesa.
