Philosophy
The secret behind our wines
Forgotten grapes, such as La Melonera or Blasco, are once again beginning to see the light centuries after a painstaking labour of bringing these grapes back to life. Their vines are perfectly integrated into a unique ecosystem in the grasslands to produce wines with personality and character.
The project
Learn about the dream
To visit La Melonera winery is to experience long-forgotten traditions and explore authentic and native grape varieties. Nestled in the Serranía de Ronda mountain range, which was once the cradle of ancient civilisations, we here at La Melonera have sought to revive the native grape varieties that once grew here long ago, from which some of the most exquisite wines are produced.
‘La Melonera satisfies all of the senses by focusing on tradition, flavour and respect for the product.’
