History
Bodegas Alconde was founded in 1956 by a group of winemakers from Lerín who united their resources and expertise to create a winery focused on marketing high-quality wines.
This collective effort, supported by techniques handed down through generations, has resulted in 150 hectares of vineyards in Navarre, an area recognized for its exceptional conditions for grape cultivation.
Vineyard and Territory
- Age of Vineyards: Over 50 years, with some vines surpassing 100 years.
- Climate: Cold winters and warm summers, ideal for grape ripening.
- Soil: Poor and calcareous, producing low yields, with pebbles ensuring moisture for deep-rooted vines.
The unique terroir produces soft, balanced wines, including Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc.
