The house

A story of our own
in the Contraviesa

Since 2004, our project in Murtas has brought together mountain vineyards, a winery and an Alpujarran welcome.

Wine has long been part of life in these hills. Cuatro Vientos grows, makes and bottles its wines on the estate, using grapes from its own slopes and from growers in the surrounding region.

    The facilities are renewed with a tasting room, underground ageing space for 200 barrels and a bottle-resting tunnel.

    Granada's wines reach Denominación de Origen status. Cuatro Vientos belongs to the designation within the Contraviesa-Alpujarra subzone.
