Bodegas Larraz

The origins of Bodegas Larraz, recently named as such, date back to 1941, the year when the La Cuesta estate was acquired, located in Cenicero, a land that provides the grapes with unique mineral qualities and which was initially used to sell to other producers in the area. The grapes they use come from ungrafted vines (known as pie franco), European plants that survived phylloxera, predating the plague. At the beginning of the 21st century, a new generation of the family decided to produce the wine Caudum, whose name means "root" or "oak," using the finest fruits from the 17 hectares of Tempranillo vineyards on the La Cuesta estate. The result is an estate wine that reflects the character of the 50-year-old terroir and undergoes aging in French oak barrels from Allier and American oak, which imparts character and personality. Finally, the wine is bottled manually, without fining or filtering.
