Information:

In 1995 Eugenio González, one of the owners of Bodegas Margón, began his first experiences in viticulture in Pajares de Los Oteros. In one of these cave-wineries, he studied and experimented, together with Raúl Pérez, what would be the best conditions and techniques to enhance the virtues of the Prieto Picudo. The age of the vines, the care of the vineyard, the respect for nature and an elaboration that allows to reflect all this set in the wine, will be the key. These experiments give rise to wines that still today preserve their freshness and aroma.

After 10 years of different and experimental winemaking, in 2006 Eugenio González teamed up with entrepreneur Alfredo Martínez Cuervo to start building Bodegas Margón. Undoubtedly this project would be carried out as long as Raúl Pérez was the technical director. And from the beginning and until today he is responsible for all the wines of the winery.

Between 2006 and 2007, Margón bought all the rustic vineyard estates in Pajares de los Oteros and its surroundings: a total of 75 plots that add up to 19 Ha. Most of them are over 100 years old. Margón becomes the only winery that produces exclusively with old vineyards between 90 and more than 120 years old.

Raúl Pérez (Valtuille de Abajo. León. 1972), has been making wines with personality for more than two decades throughout the country and also abroad. This dedication and his personal way of proceeding with "simple complexity", awarded him the Prize to the best oenologist in the world 2015 in Shanghai among other 80 wine makers.

Coming from a winemaking family, he has accumulated more than 200 labels on The Wine Advocate list compiled by the prestigious critic Robert Parker.
