Hiriart, tradition and culture in a boutique winery |

In Valladolid, in the municipality of Cigales, a new wine project has been launched with an unusual charm. The birth of Bodegas Hiriart represents a major success for the Muñoz Conde family, who recovered the abandoned family tradition for more than three decades, and for the Designation of Origin Cigales, which incorporates to its exclusive list a new winery of special uniqueness.
Bottled a little over a month, the quality of its wines has led them to dazzle on the tables of some of the most outstanding restaurants in the capital. But this latest project aims to become a benchmark of the market, not only because of the excellence of its wines, but also because of the enclave where the wineries are located.
The construction of its facilities on an ancient underground cave dating back to 1750, where the famous' claret ' of Cigales was elaborated over two centuries, is the key to the uniqueness and splendor of the settlement of these wineries. |
