Belondrade

Belondrade began in 1994 when Didier Belondrade set out to create a French-style “Vin de château” in Spain, using organic grapes from Finca Quinta San Diego. The project is deeply rooted in a commitment to the Castilian Meseta and its unique terroir, making Belondrade a “Bordeaux château in Spain.” To achieve this, establishing their own vineyards was essential.

The winery’s building, designed by Vicent Defos du Rau, reflects the elegance of the Castilian Meseta, seamlessly blending with its surroundings. This vision led to the creation of Belondrade Quinta Clarisa, marking the beginning of the winery’s future.

Belondrade continues to evolve, with a new wine from two old plots, aged longer in barrels and bottles, and first released as a 2018 vintage. As of 2019, all wines are certified organic, reflecting the winery’s dedication to sustainable practices. Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutiérrez praised the range of vintages from 2018 to 2022, highlighting the winery’s ongoing pursuit of excellence.
