Every wine in the collection is a faithful reflection of its origin, expressing the terroir, grape variety, soil composition, vinification techniques and the unique expertise of the winemaker.

Pata Negra’s legacy dates back to 1980, when the name was coined to distinguish exceptional vintages in Valdepeñas.

Unique qualities
