Bodegas Marqués de Velilla Marqués de Velilla was established in 1985 by the Segovian family, Hernández de Mercado, and is today among the most respected wineries in the Ribera del Duero appellation. In 1996 it set up at its current, permanent site in the small village of La Horra, where the family had purchased in 1989 one of the most spectacular estates in the region: Monte Villalobón. Situated towards the top of the estate’s hill, the winery displays an original architectural style, a mix of old Castilian and colonial, which blends in perfectly with the surrounding landscape.
Since 1998, Marqués de Velilla has produced wine solely from its own grapes, thanks to its 183 hectare (452 acre) vineyard, which is planted with 88% Tinta del País, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec and Merlot. In August 2000 extension work was begun on the winery to equip it with state of the art technology and to transform it into one of the most modern bodegas in Ribera del
