A large, impressive arch designed by the Pritzker Laureate Rafael Moneo welcomes visitors to Propiedad de Ar\u00ednzano, the oldest winery in Spain. Founded by the noble Sancho Fortu\u00f1ones de Ar\u00ednzano in the year 1055, the winery has always been able to skillfully combine its ancient tradition with a modern vision.<\/p>\n
Located in Navarre, in a manor measuring 299 hectares and which extends on both sides of the Ega River, Propiedad de Ar\u00ednzano has gotten, thanks to winemaker Jos\u00e9 Manuel Rodr\u00edguez (formerly in charge of the LVMH Numanthia Winery), some of the most important qualifications in Spain for its wines: Vinos de Pago, a designation of origin that has only been achieved by 20 wineries on the Peninsula. From the charming and elegant \u2018Hacienda de Ar\u00ednzano Blanco\u2019 to the most iconic of its red wines, \u2018Se\u00f1or\u00edo de Ar\u00ednzano,\u2019 an exceptional Vin de Garage<\/em> featuring 100% Tempranillo grapes from 2016, each and every one of the winery’s creations surprise thanks to their complexity and level of refinement.<\/p>\n The best place to taste these Vinos de Pago is undoubtedly the winery itself. Thus, Propiedad de Ar\u00ednzano has designed a series of wine tourism experiences which include a visit to the estate in a SUV, tastings with an assortment of Iberian cold cuts in the Ham Room located in the property\u00b4s medieval tower, barrel tastings, and paired dinners, among others. Those who want to delve deeper into the winery’s thousand-year-old history can do so by staying in one of its eight exclusive rooms made available to wine lovers. Four of the rooms are located in La Casona, a beautiful building from the eighteenth century with contemporary d\u00e9cor and fantastic views of the vineyard. The other four are located in La Villa, a cozy building that invites you to relax \u2013glass in hand\u2013 in front of its stone fireplace.<\/p>\n The history, architecture, gastronomy, unique accommodation, terroir<\/em>, and, especially, the wine have turned Propiedad de Ar\u00ednzano into a magnificent treasure; a timeless winery that washes over all the senses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
