Jacques & Francois Lurton

The history of the Lurton brothers began in 1992 in Rueda, with the discovery of its unique grape variety, Verdejo.  Jacques and Francois Lurton fell in love with this variety.  It was not long before the innovative pair were using their expertise to revolutionise the style of wines in this appellation.  They elevated the importance of theToro appellation in order not to remain overshadowed by its prestigious neighbour Ribera del Duero.  The vineyards are situated in the South of Castila y Leon under 2 appellations D.O. Rueda for white wines and D.O. Toro for red wines.  The vines grow in poor, deep, sandy and gravelly soil known as Canto Rodado.
