the merayo family
In 2010, after having dedicated the previous 20 years to the recovery and maintenance of his wineyards, and after a whole life spent in the fascinating world of wine making, Pedro Merayo establishes Bodegas y Viñedos Merayos. The winery’s founder’s experience and knowledge in the wine sector and his love for the Bierzo region have culminated in this project.
The Merayo family has always been strongly linked to the world of wine and they have owned one of the most important wineries in the region for decades. However, in the late 1980′s , Pedro Merayo decided to take time off from wine making to concentrate his efforts on the care and maintenance of the family vineyards.
After the great changes of the late 1990′s with the creation of new wineries and the modernization of existing ones as well as the development of wine making and its enthusiastic acceptance in national and international markets, the family decided to return to its roots. They resumed wine making in the winery located on the family estate, Finca Miralmonte. The basis of the move was the strong commitment to the production of quality autochthonous varieties.
