Bodega Hermanos Laredo

The Laredo brothers, with a deep-rooted family wine-making tradition, are specialists in producing traditional-style Rioja wines (using whole clusters, no destemming) aged in casks giving the consumer some warming and rounded wines for drinking upon release. The family has 16 hectares of vineyards planted in the 1940s around the towns of Leza, Lapuebla and Laguardia. The modern winery, built at the turn of the century, is equipped with stainless steel tanks for temperature controlled fermentations and there are around 2,500 casks for maturing the wines

The family had been part of the local cooperative (UVARA - Union of Grape growers Craftsmen of Alava Rioja) but, as with so many modern wineries,  in 1987, Don Luis Laredo decided to break away and make use of the family's premises to make their own wines. In addition to the family's vineyard holdings which produce around 90,000 kilos of grapes each year, a similar quantity is purchased from other local growers. This produces around 125,000 litres of red wine and a small amount of white wine bringing the total to around 170,000 bottles each year
