The wine

The quality of the Hermanos Hernáiz wines is no coincidence, nor is it something that's appeared from nowhere. It's the fruit of hard work, perseverance, and a well-kept balance between humans and nature. This harmony is found in their wines too, especially in the La Emperatriz Terruño: an estate wine with an excellent acidity, from an exceptional vineyard and produced with clear and precise winemaking procedures, bringing prestige to the project. In a nutshell, a wine that contains the expression of the unique character of this terroir.

A round, flavoursome, and balanced wine, it is especially stylish and mineral and definitely worth trying. A fruity, elegant and fresh Tempranillo, it should be in everyone's collection ready for opening on any occasion.

This is an estate of excellent quality whose potential had already been recognised at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878 and which concealed a very important history. The estate originally belonged to Eugenia de Montijo,...
