Bodegas Estefania was once a family dairy farm, but after the EU agreements in the 1990s they had to find a new venture. They were lucky enough to be neighbors with Raul Perez, who had already made a name for himself with outlandish ideas about low intervention winemaking. With the help of Perez the family successfully converted their dairy farm into a budding new winery with some of the areas highest rated Mencia and Godello plantings.
