Bodegas Estefanía (Tilenus)

Bodegas Estefanía was founded in 1999, when the Frías family converted a former dairy plant in the village of Dehesas, in Ponferrada (León). It farms around 40 hectares of old-vine mencía and godello in the DO Bierzo, on mineral, clay-rich soils in a valley with a continental climate and Atlantic influence. The winery is built from slate, stone and wood, as local architecture dictates, and the ageing cellar holds nearly a thousand Bordeaux-style French oak barrels.
