Bodegas Amezola de la Mora

About Winery and Wines

Bodegas Amezola 

Bodegas Amezola is the first château in La Rioja and a pioneer in the self-supply model. It has 60 hectares surrounding the winery, and does not buy any grapes as all the wines it makes come from its own vineyards.

This landscape of the vineyard surrounding the old winery dating back to 1816 with the Sierra de Cantabria as a backdrop makes this winery one of the most beautiful to visit in La Rioja.

In addition, the winery, which is over 200 years old, is one of the oldest, and has some impressive underground cellars that are well worth a visit.

The current owners, María and Cristina, are sisters and are the 5th generation of the family to run the winery. They became the youngest winemakers in Spain in 1999 at only 17 and 18 years of age.

If you would like to find out more about our history, please do not hesitate to visit us.

Amezola wines are always among the best rated in La Rioja with scores above 91 points in all wine guides. It has a traditional range of wines, the Amezola range, and a range of single vineyard wines, the Iñigos.

All the wines come from our vineyards, which are 57 years old on average and have an average yield of just 4,200 kgs per hectare, which are carefully selected by hand.

Thanks to our altitude of almost 600 metres above sea level, we produce wines with a high natural acidity, excellent for long ageing.

We are also one of the few artisan wineries left in La Rioja. We elaborate as our ancestors did, in a natural way.
