CLÍPEO WINES is a rite of initiation into the heart of premium wine.
Our ambitions aligned the three of us into a confederation led by our oenologist and technical director, Juan Carlos Sancha. Together, we craft our wines in an honest dialogue between the land and the microclimates of each vineyard, punctuated by the persuasive call of the Cueva La Alcaldía winery cellars.

A beetle scuttles amongst still pebbles strewn across the vineyard. The creature is both life’s greatest ally and its worst enemy. Time almighty gazes on. Yet the beetle knows its own might. Its body armour – its clypeus – shields it from the elements.
Clípeo are handcrafted organic wines. No added or commercial yeasts. Berries selected by hand with meticulous care.

Alcaudón are red wines from the vineyards of Rioja Alta.
