CELLAR LUIS CAÑAS
Effort, determination, a passion for things done well and a clear philosophy focussed on the vineyard. There have been four generations which have written the history of our family, the “Luis Cañas Family”.
For more than a century, our family has been devoted to producing and selling traditional young wines made by the carbonic maceration method (whole clusters). These were made in the Cueva de los Curas (Priests’ Cavern), an ancient cellar carved out of the ground and which still today forms part of the landscape of the area.
Our challenge is the pursuit of perfect wines. Craftsmanship starts with the best vines, where we practise rational viticulture which respects the environment throughout the growing cycle. We believe that tradition does not need to clash with innovation, but rather they go hand-in-hand in order to improve.
