Bodegas Lozano
La Mancha • Rioja Alavesa • Since 1853
"Four generations dedicated to interpreting the Spanish terroir, fusing the century-old nobility of Villarrobledo with the mineral sophistication of Rioja Alavesa."
A Legacy of Precision Viticulture
The journey of the Lozano Family began in 1853, establishing itself as one of Spain's most resilient wine dynasties. Their philosophy is not limited to tradition; today, they integrate precision viticulture under the quality standards of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. In our curation of Spanish wines, Lozano represents the perfect balance between production volume and artisanal care.
Geographical Duality and Terroir
Villarrobledo (D.O. La Mancha)
The winery's origin. Here, Tempranillo benefits from an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and limestone soils. These conditions, typical of the "Great Vineyard of Europe," allow international and local varieties to achieve impeccable phenolic ripeness, ideal for prolonged aging.
Leza (D.O.Ca. Rioja Alavesa)
The expansion into Rioja Alavesa marks a milestone in the brand's sophistication. Sheltered by the Sierra de Cantabria, the winery cultivates old vineyards that produce grapes of great mineral concentration. This line of Rioja wines has been praised by critic James Suckling for its contemporary elegance.
