With VAEL we intend the passion of our family for viticulture through a wine inspired in our family history.
We are the third and the fourth generations since our grandfather and great-grandfather was the watchman of the Amacolla in the Jimena area north east of Jumilla. Since then the tradition of viticulture has been with our family until our days.
VAEL is the next chapter in this family history when we take the next step and move forward from viticulture to producing our own wine.
