Estates with limestone terroir (originating from the Bardenas Desert) and a stable climate, with significant day\/night temperature fluctuations that are very beneficial for our grapes.<\/li>\n<li>Bodega Marques de Montecierzo is located in an emblematic <strong>centenary building<\/strong> in what was the <strong>Flour mill<\/strong> most important in the northern area; being used as <strong>prison\/penitentiary during Civil War<\/strong> and later. After ceasing operations as a flour mill, and its subsequent disuse and abandonment, the building was acquired and renovated by the Lozano-Melero family. Currently, in the building, which is listed as <strong>local heritage<\/strong> and with the greatest <strong>concentration of white storks<\/strong> From the area, ecological wines aged in new French and American oak barrels are produced artesanally.<\/li>\n<li>As an example, the <strong>Emerging Wines, Montecierzo, and Laudate Dominum<\/strong> have been awarded the best wines by the D.O. for years; some of them, like the ros\u00e9, for three years in a row and in <strong>2025 Best Organic Ros\u00e9 of Spain<\/strong>In reds: our MONTECIERZO 100% merlot, awarded in 2018 as the Best Red Wine D.O., as well as by the Gu\u00eda Pe\u00f1\u00edn, or our EMERGENTE crianza (tempranillo \u2013 garnacha) with 90 points from Decanter and awarded by Mundus Vini. Also, recently our Moscatel de Grano Menudo (with ecological certification) has been selected as the Best Natural Sweet White Wine of the Designation of Origin, and our Montecierzo Vermouth has been awarded excellence with 91 points from Pe\u00f1\u00edn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eco-labeling. <\/strong>After years of effort and dedication to sustainable farming, we have obtained the European Union's organic certification, which supports the quality and sustainability of our wines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For years, at Bodega Marqu\u00e9s de Montecierzo, we have been committed to <strong>cultivos 100% ecol\u00f3gicos<\/strong>reducing the use of chemicals and prioritizing natural methods that preserve the biodiversity of our vineyards. Unique characteristics of our wines, reflecting the authenticity of the terroir from our own vineyards, located in the La Sarda and Majarrasas estates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mission. <\/strong>Bodega Marqu\u00e9s de Montecierzo has the mission to:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>i) <strong>as FARMERS<\/strong> treat the land with the utmost respect, using techniques passed down through generations;<\/li>\n<li>ii) <strong>as VITICULTURISTS<\/strong> offer traditional wines of the highest quality, providing the best service to our Clients\/Friends;
