Eduardo Peña

Eduardo Rodriguez Peña, of the eponymous bodega in Castrelo, is a special man. He originally comes from this village and after he had his business well in order – with the operation of a number of hotels in Spain and Brazil and one of the most famous jazz cafés in Spain – he decided to start making the best wines of his native region.

A thorough approach followed
Nothing was left to chance. Eduardo bought an old bodega in an ultimate location, overlooking the river, and then had the vineyards and buildings completely removed. Extensive soil research followed and based on the results, the native grape varieties were planted on the most suitable plots.

Playing with nature
The bodega was built into the hill between the unevenly situated vineyards, which are not treated with artificial fertilizers or chemicals, in order to use the soil as efficiently as possible. The cellar, which is partly underground, has a constant temperature of 14°C in winter and 15°C in summer. Thanks to the built-in chimney, there is a constant flow of fresh outside air. This ensures that no chemicals are needed during the processes.
