BuyHistory
A story that began long before us
For centuries, the Castle of Sajazarra has overlooked the landscape of Rioja Alta. When the Líbano family acquired and restored the fortress in the 1960s, an unexpected discovery came to light: ancient medieval wine presses, revealing that wine had been part of this place for centuries.
That story did not begin with us. We simply chose to continue it.
The Castle
For centuries, the Castle of Sajazarra has dominated the landscape and formed part of the history of Rioja Alta.
The Restoration
In the 1960s, the Líbano family acquired the castle and began an extensive restoration, returning it to its former splendour.
The Medieval Wine Presses
During the restoration, ancient medieval wine presses were uncovered, confirming that the winemaking tradition of this place long predated the arrival of the Líbano family.
Señorío de Líbano
The winery was founded in 1973. Since then, Señorío de Líbano has produced wines exclusively from its own estate vineyards, remaining faithful to the land, the landscape and its origins.
Vineyards
Land with memory.
50 hectares of estate vineyards in the far north-west of Rioja Alta, around the historic village of Sajazarra and at the foot of the Montes Obarenes.
Atlantic influence tempers the continental climate, extending ripening and preserving the grapes' natural freshness. Clay-limestone soils, altitudes of 500 to 700 metres and vines between 30 and over 100 years old give wines of balance, depth and a distinct identity.
Every wine made by Señorío de Líbano comes exclusively from these vineyards.
In the vineyard
No irrigation
The vines rely solely on rainfall, which naturally limits yields and concentrates the fruit.
Clay-limestone soils
The combination of clay and limestone brings structure, elegance and freshness.
Limited yields
Pruning and green harvesting deliberately reduce production to achieve the highest quality.
Hand harvesting
Each parcel is picked at its optimum moment, and the grapes reach the winery in small crates to preserve their full quality.
Harvest
The moment of truth.
Located in one of the coolest and highest areas of Rioja Alta, our vineyards enjoy a long growing season, with each parcel reaching its optimum level of ripeness at a different moment. For this reason, every vineyard is harvested entirely by hand, ensuring that the grapes are picked only when they have achieved the perfect balance of freshness, concentration and maturity.
The grapes are transported to the winery in small crates, where a rigorous manual sorting process ensures that only the finest fruit continues through the winemaking process.
Winery
A château in the heart of Rioja Alta
Since 1973, Señorío de Líbano has crafted its wines in a winery set within the gardens of the Castle of Sajazarra. Here, tradition and innovation come together to produce wines that faithfully express the character of the vineyard.
Every wine is made exclusively from grapes grown in our 50 hectares of estate vineyards, allowing us to oversee every stage of the process, from harvest to bottling.
A place where time, the land and craftsmanship come together to bring our wines to life.
Fermentation
Winemaking is centred around large oak vats, where both alcoholic fermentation and much of the malolactic fermentation take place. For selected wines, malolactic fermentation is completed directly in barrel, enhancing texture, complexity and integration. The winery also features stainless steel and concrete tanks, providing the flexibility to adapt each vinification to the characteristics of every variety and vintage.
Ageing
The wines are aged primarily in French oak barrels sourced from the forests of Tronçais and Allier. Selected wines also incorporate American oak, adding subtle nuances while always preserving balance and the purity of the fruit.
Bottle cellar
Following barrel ageing, the wines rest in our underground bottle cellar for as long as necessary before release, completing their evolution under ideal temperature and humidity conditions.
