Bodegas Montecillo, founded in 1870, is the third-oldest winery in the Rioja region and the oldest in Fuenmayor. For over 150 years, the winery has remained dedicated to producing authentic Rioja wines, blending traditional methods with modern innovations.


The founder, Don Celestino Navajas Matute, came from a family deeply rooted in Fuenmayor and established the winery after inheriting vineyards from his father-in-law. Today, under the guidance of oenologist Mercedes García, Bodegas Montecillo upholds the founder's philosophy, producing elegant, classic, and timeless wines that reflect the authenticity of the Rioja region.


The winery is renowned for its Reserva and Gran Reserva red wines, which have garnered numerous awards and accolades at prestigious national and international competitions.
