THINK LESS
FEEL MORE

I was born in Laguardia and I am the fifth generation of a wine-maker family. Javier produces his wines with grapes from his own vineyards because the San Pedro's Family own more than 100 hectares of vineyards in Laguardia.

That 5 year-old boy who cleaned his grandfather's winery, produced his first wine in 2005 in his father's winery at the age of 17.

It is in the harvest of 2013, after 8 years giving his personal touch to the family winery, when he decided to undertake his own project. This is based on three different ranges of wine. One the one hand, Cueva de Lobos, it is defined by modern, aromatic and funny wines. On the other hand, Viuda Negra, it pretends recover old vineyards in order to obtain the best quality of each one. Moreover we cannot forget our Anahí, a semi-sweet white wine created and produced in honor of his mother.

This young project soon embodied and is called BODEGAS JAVIER SAN PEDRO ORTEGA. An innovative winery with a young team looking for surprising you and differentiate from the traditional Rioja wine.

We feel our wines have to tell a story. They have to be singular, authentic and innovative wines. They have to transmit the expression and authenticity of  our land. Being produced and aged with the maximum respect but from a dynamic and contemporary vision.

SINGLE
VINEYARDS

Our vineyard La Taconera is the origin of everything. From there, it is born the idea of taking care and producing wines with old wineyards from Laguardia.

We also have young vineyards, under 20 years-old, that we use to produce our Cueva de Lobos wines until those plantations become great vineyards. We opt for land, we have 8 different "One-vineyard" wines and our single vineyard wine from 1920: La Taconera.

We are looking for the balance of the plant, trying to interfere as less as possible in the natural procedure and removing the use of herbicides and systemic products.
