Producer Information

At the beginning of 3rd millennium, the magnificent estate of Perales de Valdueza, just above Mrida, was completely restored by the family Alvarez de Toledo. This family has owned this estate since 1624; it comprises some thousands of hectares of which 40 are under vines. It is one of the most famous families in Spain and its first mentions in the archives go back to 1085. The Alvarezes de Toledo were amongst the richest land owners of the kingdom at the time of the Reyes Catlicos (1474-1504) and received the titles of Duke of Alba and Marquess of Valdueza. The first title is only famous in the Low Countries. Anyway, this family was often part of history. Todays Marquess of Valdueza is set on giving back its lustre to the property. He called back from London his son Fadrique, so that he takes the estate in his hands and improve the quality of the production. His first mission was to renovate the olive orchard. Then followed the vines; in two years – 2002 and 2003, it was completely replanted. His first wine, Marqus de Valdueza Etiqueta Azul 2006, was launched on the market in 2008. Since then, two other cuves have been added to the range, the Valdueza and the Marqus de Valdueza Etiqueta Roja.
