A family link that goes back to 1822 and the winemaking company founded by Pedro Domecq Lembeye in Jerez de la Frontera.
Don Cosme Palacio took over his family winery and founded Bodegas Cosme Palacio in Laguardia, where, thanks to his oenological studies, he incorporated modern winemaking techniques from France. More than a century later, it became one of the 17 members of the exclusive group of "Historic Riojan Wineries."
This marked the family's first involvement with Bodegas Cosme Palacio, and a defining moment in its history. The winery undertook a thorough renovation, equipping itself with facilities suited to modern winemaking methods. A step forward that safeguarded and carried forward more than a century of heritage in Laguardia.
Prestigious winemaker Michel Rolland's first consulting position at Bodegas Cosme Palacio marked a before and an after in the history of Rioja and the style of its wines. His pioneering decisions created what is considered to be the first "vino de autor": Cosme Palacio, the first in a new line of modern Riojas.
Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos returns to the D.O. Ribera del Duero with Viñas de Umbra. Inspired by the Secreto philosophy, the new winery is born as a tribute to the deep knowledge and tireless dedication of the winegrowers of the highest-altitude sites in Ribera del Duero, who give voice to an authentic expression of our land.
