Our challenge is the pursuit of perfect wines. Craftsmanship starts with the best vines, where we practice rational viticulture respecting the environment throughout the growing cycle.
Wine tourism is a voyage through emotions. A unique experience that will immerse you in the secrets behind our wines. Come and experience wine tourism in the shade of the majestic Sierra de Cantabria. From your arrival at the winery itself, surrounded by vineyards, you will gradually discover every corner of our house. We invite you to feel the heartbeat of the wine among barrels, to imbibe its colors, aromas and flavors, and to share in our passion for the land, its history and its people. A whole legacy of emotions to enjoy wine with all 5 senses.
Care, perfection and loving attention to what we do can be seen in the way we transport the clusters of grapes, in small plastic crates -in the case of the oldest vineyards, and in small trailers for younger vines. As well as selecting on the vine itself, all Luis Cañas wines undergo a double selection process: first, they pass through a sorting table where the clusters are selected by hand and subsequently, each individual berry is checked on a Mistral table, so that only those in perfect condition continue in the process. We select the French and American oak casks from the best cooperages in the world. The cask stock is renewed continuously, so the average age is three years. A real luxury.
In 2006, we started a pioneering project in Spain: the construction of a home for agricultural workers with room for 40 people, separate dormitories for men and women, toilets, laundry, industrial kitchen, canteen, rest room and infirmary. This initiative received the prestigious 2008 Caring Company Award given by the magazine Dato Económico.
Always committed to the environment and to quality, we were the first winery in Spain to obtain the BRC Protocol with AENOR, the ISO 14.000, the ISO 9.002 quality certification, and we inaugurated our own Waste Water Treatment Plant.
