THE CELLAR
Eugenia de Montijo, Empress of France and owner of a vineyard with great quality potential. At the Universal Exhibition of 1878 (Paris), he presented a wine made in Baños de Rioja and won one of the prizes in the wine contest.
In 1996, the Hernáiz family acquired that same estate, and the brothers Eduardo and Víctor Hernáiz took charge of a project whose objective was the elaboration of quality wines.
Finca La Emperatriz is located in the extreme northwest of the DOC Rioja, at an altitude of 570 m, on one of the highest plateaus of the Rioja Alta. It consists of 101 Ha. Which allows the winery to produce its entire range with its own grapes.
