About the Winery

Nestled in the heart of Spain's lush vineyards, Casa Montes Winery is a sublime marriage of tradition and innovation. This family-owned winery, steeped in Spanish grape growing and wine making history, showcases a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern winemaking techniques.

At Casa Montes, centuries-old vines weave a mesmerising tale, their gnarled trunks and the vibrant flavours of their fruit testaments to the rich heritage of Spanish viticulture. Understanding the true essence of these vines, their struggle and survival which imparts the wine its character, the Montes family has been making exceptional wines for several generations.

However, tradition has not stunted growth at Casa Montes. Modern, sophisticated equipment complements time-honoured wine making methods, promising both consistency and quality. The winery produces both red and white varieties, with their Tempranillo and Verdejo wines being particularly beloved by patrons far and wide.

Casa Montes emphasises on producing small, high-quality batches rather than mass-produced wines. This approach ensures each bottle truly encapsulates the rich, complex character of the terroir from which it originates whilst maintaining the utmost standards of quality and taste. Albeit this dedication to quality, the winery's offerings remain surprisingly affordable.

That being said, a visit to Casa Montes isn’t merely about the wine, but rather an immersive experience that intertwines sensory indulgence with historical understanding. A walk through a labyrinth of cool, stone cellars lined with dusty barrels; a leisurely stroll in the verdant vineyards under the warm Spanish sun; or the delight of tasting notes of rich berries, earthy minerals and subtle spices dancing from a glass of Montes' finest — Casa Montes offers a magical journey down the ever-riveting, always-surprising path of wine appreciation.

In short, Casa Montes is not just a winery, it's a living epitome of Spanish enology. A sublime escape for wine lovers seeking a unique, unforgettable experience! Are you packed yet.
