A little bit of history about Felix Azpilicueta Reserva...

One of the most important figures in the history of Rioja wine, Félix Azpilicueta Martínez, founded the Bodegas del Romeral, after taking over a small vineyard in Fuenmayor in 1881.

Don Félix, as he was known by his neighbors, took part in the first exports of Rioja wines, until he managed to transform that primitive winery into a well-known and prestigious brand.

The founder of the brand, Félix Azpilicueta, and his commitment to always offer the best version of his work led him to merge with two other wineries, Las Veras and Bodegas Entrena, with which he formed AGE, and together they became one of the first wineries in La Rioja.

At the end of the 20th century, Bodegas AGE thought about the elaboration of a range of wines that would mark the future line of the winery, and it was as Azpilicueta has become a reference of Rioja wines, always under the technical supervision of the oenologist Elena Adell.
