THE WINERY

Jorge Monzón, the man behind this personal and unique project, can boast of a formidable CV when it comes to wine-making, an experience gained while working in such prestigious places as Romanée Conti, Vega Sicilia, and finally Bodegas Arzuaga, where he took charge of the viticulture and enology side for 9 years. Dominio del Águila is created in 2010 by Jorge and his wife Isabel Rodero, who together craft a small volume of fantastic wines using the fruit of old ecological farmed vineyards, in the 30 hectares in total which they own in the small village of La Aguilera, near Aranda del Duero. Their wines are remarkable for their freshness, powerful yet elegant and singular.
