Under the designation”Heredad de Urueña”, a comprehensive project was launched in 2005 with the aim of restoring and recovering a Castilian farmstead following the guidance provided by architect and urban planner Iñigo Escribano. The estate’s origins date back to the late seventeenth century: the property, which comprised a farmhouse, a stable, a dovecote, a winepress and a half-buried, brick-vaulted, stone-pillared wine cellar, was the centrepiece of a large vineyard on the slopes of the historical town of Urueña, today’s cultural nodal point in the region. The estate occupied part of a site known as “Pago de las Viñas”, which features in the land registry of the Marquiss of Ensenada.
