Territorio Puelles
Imposible desligar la historia de la bodega y la familia de la historia del territorio, por eso la visita se enmarca en un recorrido por los principales recursos patrimoniales del vino en Ábalos, población de la Sonsierra riojana, dedicada ancestralmente a la viña. Visitaremos el viñedo, los viejos lagares, el casco antiguo de Ábalos y remataremos visita en la bodega con unas tapas y cata de vinos. Si se tercia, podremos proseguir la reunión con un almuerzo riojano.
About the winery
The Puelles family has lived in Ábalos for longer than anyone can remember, and their winemaking tradition goes back just as far. The current generation, the brothers Jesús and Félix Puelles, have enlarge the Molino (Mill) Estate and converted it into a lovely wine cellar, standing alongside the old 17th century water mill which the family bought from the town council in 1844. This Tempranillo-planted, single vineyard bodega follows organic growing methods and produces and ages the wine with the utmost care and attention, before bottling them as an "Estate Wine" under the "El Molino de Puelles" label.
This family winery of wine growers sells 60% in Spain directly from the winery and 40% goes to export.
In addition to making wines, they were pioneers in wine tourism and they organize guided tours and didactic tastings.
