The El Vínculo winery is the result of an old idea Alejandro Fernández had: making a great wine in La Mancha. He finally found what he was looking for after travelling around the region for some time. What he discovered were good very mature Tempranillo vines acclimatised to local conditions.... /> If the vines were well cared for, selected and their production controlled, that great wine from La Mancha that Alejandro had always dreamt about could finally become a reality.
That is how Alejandro’s latest great project —and last for the time being— began.
A beautiful typical building from La Mancha located near the windmills of Campo de Criptana and next to the railway station was reconverted into a modern winery designed to make limited quantities of top-quality wine. The name chosen for the winery, “El Vínculo”, is a homage to the old family winery located in the Duero area.
