Three Brothers at the Helm

The Cordón family's winemaking legacy began in the 19th century, initially focusing on local sales. Production was interrupted during the Civil War, but post-war, the winery expanded its output, particularly known for its exceptional red wines. Today, the three Cordón brothers manage the winery, blending modern technology with traditional winemaking practices to create remarkable aged red wines.

Key Grape Varieties: Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo

At Heras Cordón Winery, the focus is on three primary grape varieties: Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo, all integral to the Rioja region. The winery's vineyards span 50 hectares of stunning landscapes, with recent acquisitions bringing the total to 60 hectares, where local growers cultivate high-quality grapes. Heras Cordón is a certified producer of red wines under the DO Rioja de Grandes Añadas label.

For aging and refinement, the wines are stored in French oak barrels within a historic cellar that was once a monastery. This beautifully restored space offers a warm atmosphere for visitors, showcasing the winery's commitment to preserving its heritage while producing exceptional wines.
