Founded in 1964, it produces its own wines from its 300 hectares of vineyards and is registered in the Qualified Denomination of Origin of the La Rioja.
We are in the most Atlantic area of La Rioja and not only La Rioja, but Rioja Alavesa. The Toloño mountain range, with its 1,200 m high peak, protects our vineyards from the Atlantic wind and rains and, at the same time, we take advantage of the Mediterranean winds brought by the Ebro river, resulting in a perfect balance of precipitation, with days warm and cool nights, which makes the vineyards of Labastida one of the best in La Rioja.
