History




The Castillo de Cuzcurrita stands out as being the most significant architectural structure on Señorío de Cuzcurrita land, and can be described as a typical Rioja Alta construction.

Prior to the current ownership, the castle has belonged to several lords and noblemen: from 1464 with Sancho de Rojas, to Hernando de Santo Domingo, Pedro Suárez de Figueroa, don Bernardino and the Marqués de Lazán in 1856.

Inherited, obtained or acquired, the castle passed into the hands of the Sáinz de Incháustegui family, Counts of Alacha, who held the castle under their ownership from 1945 and were the pioneers of its refurbishment and maintenance.

Since 1999, the Castillo de Cuzcurrita and its various properties have belonged to Bergé y Cía. From the very beginning the new owners initiated a comprehensive remodelling process that would ensure the castle’s architectural magnificence would endure for centuries.

The refurbishment was not only aesthetic; the winery installations were also renovated in order to improve and modernize production techniques. As a result of this comprehensive modernization our wines are created in optimum conditions, as wines of this quality demand.

The castle dominates the surrounding vineyards, from which our wines originate, imparting them with history and tradition.
