Experience Exceptional Red Wines from Valladolid

Bodegas Y Viñedos La Mejorada is situated in a beautifully restored 15th-century Jerome Monastery, originally founded by Fernando I of Aragon. Located in Olmeda, Valladolid, this winery is part of the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) of Castilla y León, renowned for producing outstanding red wines. Among its finest offerings are Villalar, Las Norias, Las Cercas, Tiento, and Palomar de la Reina, each showcasing the unique character of the region.

Authenticity from Terroir to Bottle

La Mejorada is dedicated to expressing the true essence of its terroir through its wines. The vineyard practices sustainable farming without chemical interventions, ensuring the grapes reflect their natural environment. The deep sandy soils with clay foundations are ideal for cultivating grape varieties such as Tempranillo, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The surrounding pine forest creates a microclimate that enhances the grapes' unique characteristics, yielding approximately 2,000 kg of grapes per hectare.

Meticulous Wine Production Process

While Valladolid is traditionally known for its white wines, La Mejorada stands out for its exceptional red wines. Each grape is carefully inspected and selected at its peak ripeness. The fermentation process begins in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity to the wine. Each bottle of La Mejorada wine embodies finesse and elegance, inviting wine lovers to appreciate the beauty of its landscape.

Small winery in a wonderful environment, the remains of the monastery and its charming chapel give it a historical touch. Paloma, a hostess of 10. And the exquisite broths.

We loved the visit to this winery. Thanks to Paloma who knew how to convey all the history and passion that exists in this winery. The visit is highly recommended for anyone who is in the area. The place has a lot of history, and that makes the experience even more special. Thanks also to Rafael for all the architectural work!

Wonderful visit. We are from the area, from Boecillo, and we have visited it with family who have come from Palencia, Seville and Cádiz. Many thanks to Paloma for her attention and detailed explanations. When you like your job, what you do, it shows and you transmit it. It has been a visit and a wonderful tasting, you make some very delicious wines. The history of the farm and its restoration surprised me and we liked it a lot. Thank you very much for assisting us and answering our questions. I am saving this winery and visit to repeat with friends when they come to visit.

It is much more than a winery. It is a farm, former monastery and hermitage. Today a small winery, with a natural treatment of the grapes and a very careful winemaking process. Reds, despite being a white area. The restoration of Moneo is a subtle intervention that fits with the tranquility of the Castilian landscape. The sommelier guide, Paloma, is very clear, willing and organized both in the way she explains the history of the venue and during the tasting that takes place in a charmingly restored room.

We loved learning about the ancient history of the place, the recent past and the current wine project. All this under the perfect guidance of Paloma, who dedicated herself to her job and made us enjoy the wine tasting with her detailed explanations. A 10.
