Legado de Orniz

Legado de Orniz combines four generations of winemaking tradition in San Román de Hornija with modern expertise to produce authentic and elegant Toro wines. The estate is dedicated to preserving centuries-old Tinta de Toro vineyards in harmony with the valley's unique microclimate and diverse soils. These vineyards are dry-farmed and goblet-trained, with some pre-phylloxera vines, reflecting the perseverance of the region's winemaking heritage.

The terroir is further enhanced by the extreme climate, with long winters and hot, dry summers, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality and character.

Founded by Enriqueta Celemín Amaro, a fourth-generation winemaker, and Diego Alfredo Ribbert, an agricultural engineer and winemaker from Mendoza, the winery is committed to creating wines that showcase the incredible potential of this unique region.
