"The rescue of centenary vineyards suspended on impossible slopes of pure slate. Wines of overwhelming finesse, Atlantic tension, and the deepest truth of Spanish cult wine."
Pago de los Abuelos: Nacho Álvarez's Centenary Slate
In the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, under the certification of the Regulatory Council of D.O. Bierzo, Pago de los Abuelos, winemaker Nacho Álvarez's most personal project, comes to life.
Through La Cava Shop, we bring these very limited cult productions within your reach. Explore our selected section of red wine from independent winemakers, or the collection of Spanish wines.

The extreme smallholding practiced by Pago de los Abuelos is located on dizzying slopes where every cultural task is performed entirely without mechanical or animal traction.
Micro-vinification and Minimal Intervention Aging
Nacho Álvarez processes each plot independently using small-capacity stainless steel tanks and open-top oak vats.
