The Museum winery is located in the heart of Cigales, in Castilla-León and comes from El Coto de Rioja. Its goal of producing top quality red wines in the Spanish plateau takes place in the pebbly old vineyards on the banks of the Pisuerga River. This region experiences a tough continental climate (located 650 to 800 metres above sea level), poor soil, with chalk and clay, and extremely old vines (covering some 40 hectares). Their modern facilities and winemakers do the rest.
