The story of that dream
Century V b.C.
A land of milenary tradition
In the V century b.C. the Iberians already inhabited the area of Jumilla growing vineyards and making wine according to the remains in the archeological site of Coimbra del Barranco Ancho.
The oldest remains of Vitis Vinifera (the vine plant) in Europe were found in Jumilla
Beginning of the XX century
The origin of our family
The seed: Our grand-grandfather, Francisco Lozano Marin, already worked his own Monastrell vineyards along with his main job as a forest steward
In 1961 the P.O.D. Jumilla is established
A land with origin
The regulatory counsel of the Jumilla P.O.D. in 1961 and since 1966 it has its own regulations. Jumilla is one of the oldest P.O.D. in Spain
In the late 80s and 90s VAEL vineyards grew exponentially
The first results arrive
During this last part of the XX century, commanded by our grandfather Emilio Lozano Abellán, the vineyards from which VAEL is obtained these days grew exponentially. It was during these years as well that the first extraordinary results for these vineyards arrived. They were selected various time to provide the grapes for some of the highest quality wines in Jumilla
2023 VAEL arrives to the market
The completion of a dream
In 2023 VAEL Red 2020 is released to the market. This is a wine that represents the best of the essence of Jumilla and the long tradition of our family
Why VAEL?
VAEL is the Iberian god who protects nature and forests. Hence, this name is the perfect tribute to two traditions linked to vine growing and wine. The one of our family that was initiated 4 generations ago when our grand-grandfather was a forest steward. As well as the one of Jumilla started by the Iberians who praised this god.
Therefore, VAEL links and praises two long traditions, the one of our family and the one of our home Jumilla. VAEL was represented by Iberians with a wolf, which explains logo of our brand.
