A pioneering winery

Introducing innovative winemaking techniques, producing wines ahead of their time and sharing knowledge through wine tourism.

Experience, security, vision

Roberto Rodríguez, a real expert on the Rioja Alavesa, carries the experience of the winery in his blood.

At the foot of Laguardia, between the Sierra de Cantabria and the sinuous course of the Ebro, Bodegas Palacio keeps the dynamic spirit of its origins alive, the moment in 1894 when Cosme Palacio took charge of his family’s winery.

Here the treasure lies in the vines. Protected by the imposing rocks of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains, Tempranillo and Viura vines find their ideal conditions here. High altitude, chalky-clay soils, south facing, a unique microclimate with Mediterranean and Atlantic influences. A great potential for finesse, nurtured with the utmost care.

The winery has always been characterised for bringing together tradition and innovation. Pioneering decisions include exhaustive grape selection procedures, the separate vinification of each parcel of wines, ageing in the finest, new French oak barrels and long maceration periods. Thanks to this, the wines are a unique example of harmony, balance and expressivity.
