Winery Details
Diez-Caballero is a family winery located in Elciego that we inherited from our grandparents. Following the formula of traditional Bordeaux Chateaux - relatively rare in Rioja - our wines come exclusively from estate-owned vineyards planted with Tempranillo and Viura. Strict pruning and respectful growing practices blend the traditional and the modern at the service of fruit's full expression - roots, soil, and family.
