'The philosophy of our house is based on simplicity and quality, and for this we seek excellence based on care and respect for each of the vines.'
We have gone little by little, slowly, taking care of the land, pampering the vines, focused on the raw material, from the plant to the label and under the philosophy that quality is always linked to respect for the land. Thirty years after Bernardo Luna launched himself into winemaking, today, the second generation of the Luna Beberide family, led by Alejandro Luna Beberide, only intends to follow that line of simplicity, quality and seek excellence based on to the care and respect for the vines since in 1998, under the guidance of Mariano García, who was the winemaker of Vega Sicilia for many years and a friend of the family, when the first reference red wines of Luna Beberide were started In the eighties
The innovative spirit of Bernardo Luna and the desire to modernize the wine sector in his land led him to experiment with more than 25 grape varieties from all over the world, dedicating a 5-hectare experimental vineyard on the “El Francés” Estate in Cacabelos to this end. studying and producing wines that successfully coexisted within the firm for years with the native varieties, but through the years and experience, the Bierzo has imposed itself on the varieties foreigners that currently in Luna Beberide the Mencía and the Godello give their name to the young wines of the company, the Luna Beberide Mencia and the Luna Beberide Godello, and the elaborations in barrels from the oldest vines of the property are used for their Wines de Paraje: Finca Luna Beberide (Paraje Valdetruchas, Los Profesores vineyard) and Art (Altos de Valdetruchas, La recuperada vineyard), a selection of centuries-old vines from the small steep plots that exist on the heights of the Villafranca del Bierzo.
The other great local wine, PAIXAR, is made from several plots of vineyards in Dragonte (Corullón), scattered in tiny smallholdings, where they work side by side with local farmers to recover the viticultural heritage of a mountain town.
