Bodegas Finca El Retamar

Finca El Retamar, which covers 650 hectares, is located at the end of the Sierra de El Castañar Valley in the Montes de Toledo, within the municipal term of Orgaz.

This agricultural, livestock and vine-growing cultivation has been property of the five siblings that make up the Peces-Barba family for 50 years now. Juan Fernando is in charge of this vineyard, where 72 hectares of the Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot varieties are cultivated for their red wines, along with Sauvignon Blanc, Muscatel, Macabeo, Verdejo, Riesling and Viognier varieties for the white wines. It was in the year 2000 when they decided to build the winery right on the estate itself, the same with the aim of elaborating their own wines, for which they have 500,000 kilogram grape vinification vats available, all made of steel and with a cold fermentation system regulated by a central computer. Apart from this the winery also counts with two French oak vats, with 10,000-liter capacity each and a barrel cellar where 150 French and American cooperage units also rest.

The winery, in which the Tower stands out, the same accessed from the main entrance, is integrated in a typical Manchego-style house with whitewashed patios and indigocolored wall protectors. Apart from the production of their own wines, the proprietors have extended their range of services with wine tourismand guided visits of the cellar and vineyards, where the vinification and ageing systems can be observed, apart from a complete tour of the viticulture process. Commented tasting sessions, which take place in the upper hall of the Tower in a welcoming ambience, are directed by experts, thus allowing us to enjoy the evolution of diverse wines at each given moment of their maturing and ageing process. Visitors can also enjoy lunch in the restaurant, which has capacity for 50 diners and also holds outdoor activities in the garden. And for lovers of horses, the winery counts with an excellent stable of purebred Spanish horses. Two circuits have also been built in which activities such as paintball, team-building, archery... take place, the same catering to company groups.
