Marry De Burbia

Casar de Burbia can boast a heritage spread over 52 plots totaling 27 hectares. In 1998, our first bottled harvest with its seal saw the light of day. Since then, throughout each vegetative cycle, we have wanted to learn and evolve.

In 1989, he decides to make his dream come true and begins to acquire old vineyards in El Bierzo. Obsessed with altitude and freshness, his bet focuses on the search for mountain plots, an area that at that time everyone was abandoning due to the high cost of grape production and the low selling price of the same.

A purely family winery, viticulturists to the core and vine vinifiers. The origin of Casar de Burbia is due to Nemesio Fernández Bruña, the father and first generation of the winery.

Vineyards and Landscapes

LOW AREAS: the average altitude is around 565 meters above sea level. The most characteristic feature of this part of the vineyard is the greater presence of clays due to their accumulation at the bottom of the slope, that is, in the lower parts of the valley.

MIDDLE AREAS: At 600 meters above sea level, the soils here are dominated by clays and medium-sized stones. It is significant that here, in the middle areas, the grapes ripen between 20 and 25 days later than in the lower areas, despite the fact that the difference in altitude is not so marked. This extension in time allows us to access a slow and steady ripening with all the benefits that derive from it.

HIGH AREAS: They are the most valued vineyards of the Bierzo Designation of Origin. The high areas in Bierzo are known as "tebaidas," a name that we also use to identify the wines that come from these vineyards. These "tebaidas" are composed of large stones. The slates and quartz make up the oldest soils of Valtuille and exhibit longer and more mineral wines. The harvest of these plots is usually delayed by about 40 days compared to the lower areas of the valley.
