WHERE SKILL
MEETS FAITH.
Based in a historic wine region known for high volume wine, it is now regaining its prestige for artisan products and Finca Collado are at the forefront and defining their own path. Despite being a fairly new project they have built an estate focused on a deep respect for nature, recovering old vines, replanting indigenous varieties and restoring traditional winemaking methods.
They are faithful to the territory and its history and not only take advantage of the cultural legacy, but they investigate it, enrich it and think about its future. In doing so they understand that they not only make wines, but also contribute to cultural creation.
