Diez Siglos

A relatively young project, Diez Siglos was founded in 2009 by 65 viticulturists. They share a passion for producing the best quality, Verdejo. We visited the modern winery for a delicious tasting of their wines and a delicious lunch with Export Manager Miguel Renedo Hidalgo and winemaker Laura Rubio.
