Nowadays, under the quality label of Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla , this historic estate makes strong, meaty wines, thanks to a microclimate which favours the cultivation of the Tempranillo , Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot , Pinot Noir and Airén varieties. Casa de la Viña is surrounded by over 3,000 hectares of vineyards, one of the largest areas in cultivation in Europe . The crop is used to make wines protected by the appellation of the Denominación de Origen Valdepeñas and bearing the Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla quality label. Casa de la Viña enjoys its own particular microclimate. What is more, the river Azuer runs through the estate, giving a higher level of humidity to the soil. The bodega grows the following varieties: Tempranillo (locally named Cencibel), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Airén (the latter the autochthonous variety of the region).

As
the setting for the adventures of the illustrious hidalgo, Casa
de la Viña has all the charm of the large Manchego patios,
which have been preserved intact despite the passing of time.
Pioneers in the production of Valdepeñas wines, it was
an elegant Mansion House as it was acquired by the Count of
Casavaliente in 1857.
