Located in Rueda, our winery was founded and began making wine in 1976, alongside the Appellation of Origin Rueda. The initial years were dedicated to consolidate the brand in the Castilla y León region, to later begin a rapid expansion both nationally and internationally.
Palacio de Bornos was the first winery in Spain´s Castilla y León region to produce a traditional method sparkling wine and one of the first in introducing Sauvignon Blanc and reconducting wines to espalier, showing our marked innovative character.
Palacio de Bornos boasts 308 hectares of their own vineyards, in the towns of Rueda, Pollos and La Seca, which are more than 30 years old.
The soil of our vineyards is characterized by a calcareous clay subsoil and gravelly top soil, with a high concentration of boulders, allowing for good aeration and drainage, ideal characteristics for the successful development of the vine.
The special commitment to the vineyard have led Palacio de Bornos to develop continuous research projects - mainly in the field of clonal selection, vine spacing, rootstock and foliar nutrition - through studies at experimental estates. As
well as sustainable agriculture projects that contribute to the respect and protection of the environment. The results, once positively tried and tested, are applied to the entire vineyard.
The aim has always been to plant the best vines in the best soil, in order to obtain the best wines.
