A blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca, Tempranillo Blanco, and Malvasa. Vias del Lentisco Villota is owned, operated, and founded by Carmen Prez-Garrigues and her father Ricardo Prez- Villota, the fourth and third generations of the Prez-Villota family, a line of growers that have been rooted to the San Rafael estate in Laserna, Laguardia on a meander of the Ebro River since 1930. From the early 1940's through 1973, the Prez-Villota family were CVNE's top grape supplier at Via Real. In 1973, the Villota family cofounded Viedos del Contino, Rioja's first single estate winery with Jos ngel Madrazo and CVNE. The parternship lasted until 2013, when the Villota family broke off, taking the historic family estate with them, and founded their own winery under the Villota brand on this historic plot of land.
