Montilla-Moriles Wine Route
The Montilla-Moriles Wine Route encompasses aromas, flavours, silence… and a splendid blend of varied landscapes where undulating chalky hills are covered by green vineyards and silvery olive groves. Wine presses, wineries and picturesque white villages dot this landscape in the south of Cordoba province, the heart of Andalusia.
To the west of the Sierras Subbéticas mountains, Pedro Ximénez grapes create these fine wines through the magical, mysterious and patient "criaderas and soleras" method in oak barrels that give them their characteristic quality.
The presses, at foot of the vineyards, produce aromatic wine must, smelling of fruit, yeast, breadcrumbs. The streets of the local towns herald in the autumn with the smell of new wine. It is in the winery, in the silence of the “cathedral”, in the tenuous light, the rough wood of the barrels,… where wine becomes truly great.
Close your eyes and try to imagine these lands which smell of bread, olive oil and… wine. The Montilla-Moriles Wine Route is a land rich in culture and leisure,… of experiences centred on a cultural, historical, artistic and gastronomic heritage without comparison.
