Founded in 1885, Felipe Lagunilla was the man who worked hardest to rescue the vineyards of Rioja from the phylloxera crisis. Made a comendador by the King, he is known for leading Spanish growers to replant vines grafted with American rootstocks that were already resistant to phylloxera. Bought by the giant Diageo and later by Marqués de la Concordia Family of Wines, the winery preserves the legacy of Felipe Lagunilla and the winemaking tradition of one of the most traditional wineries in the Rioja Alta.
