Nestled in the heart of Rueda, Spain’s renowned white wine region, Bodega Javier Sanz carries a rich winemaking legacy that spans over five generations. Founded in 1863 and still family-run today, the winery has maintained a deep respect for tradition while embracing innovation to craft wines of exceptional character. The estate covers more than 100 hectares of vineyards, with some vines over 150 years old—including rare pre-phylloxera plots. Specializing in Verdejo, but also working with Viura, Sauvignon Blanc, and other native varieties, Javier Sanz is particularly known for its commitment to preserving indigenous grapes such as the nearly extinct Malcorta. The winery’s philosophy centers on sustainability, precision, and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that reflect the unique terroir of Rueda with elegance, freshness, and complexity.

An absolutely recommendable experience. The visit to the vineyards was spectacular, and the subsequent wine tasting in a privileged location was wonderful. We thank Raquel for her kindness, her explanations, and her friendliness. We will definitely be back!

Raquel's attention was wonderful. We were lucky enough to take the tour alone with her, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. It's clear she loves her job and is fully committed to it. The tour of the Third Order was very nice. You don't get to see the winery; the new facilities will have their own tasting room (we did it at the Third Order), but it's still under construction. We tasted (and ordered) four wines. Javier Sanz doesn't disappoint.

The experience of visiting the vineyards and the subsequent tasting in the church couldn't have been better; Raquel's joy and good work, along with great wine and wonderful weather, were the ideal plan for a Sunday morning. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure to visit PAGO DE SALTAMONTES - La Seca. These pampered Verdejo vines, dating back to the pre-phylloxera era, are one of the oldest vines registered in the DO. Rueda. Its roots penetrate deep into 7 meters of clay soil with sediment, producing a low yield with numerous herbal nuances that shine with delight in their signature versions. Tasting their creations in the Church of the Third Order, renovated by and for the winery and intended to be a landmark of the municipality, is a double pleasure. These versatile Verdejos, also FB, offer a gastronomic level that we strive to recapture. Congratulations to the entire team at Bodegas Javier Sanz! 👏🏻👏🏻

We had a great time tasting and visiting the vineyard. The work they did in restoring the Church of the Third Order was spectacular. The wines are magnificent, and with the good work and enthusiasm Raquel puts into the presentation... nothing can go wrong. Thank you.
