Bodegas Palacios Remondo is a family-owned winery established in 1948 by Jose Palacios Remondo, the 4^th generation of a family with a long involvement with wines for more than 150 years. It was also the childhood home of Alvaro Palacios, the acclaimed Spanish winemaker. He learnt his craft here and, after his father's death in 2000, is now officially the winemaker too in the family’s home estate in Rioja.

The winery is located within the Oriental Rioja in the municipal district of Alfaro. The estate owns 100 ha of vines, which are located on a large and steep hill, southeast-facing hill at an altitude of 550 meters above sea level and made up of clay and lime soils with very poor organic matter. The varieties planted are Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano, with just 8 ha planted with the white grape variety Viura.
