The company’s philosophy is rooted in the artistic concept of wine, understanding that the creation of an exceptional wine is akin to a masterpiece, built on two fundamental elements: high-quality raw materials (land and grape) and outstanding winemaking craftsmanship. In other words, it’s like the talent of the artist and their palette of colors. Masaveu Wineries strives to capture this original and creative expression in its wines, while also valuing innovation and technology to meet new consumption trends.
Origin and Trajectory
The Masaveu family began investing in the wine sector in 1974 when they acquired Murua Wineries. However, the family’s vineyard plantations date back to the mid-19th century, specifically in Castellar del Vallés, where the family originates and where Federico Masaveu Rivell laid the foundations that his descendants would build upon a century later.Since then, Masaveu Wineries has grown with a firm commitment to producing high-quality wines in various denominations of origin, maintaining an ecological philosophy that emphasizes the utmost respect for the land. Through its own vineyards, the company is able to convey the unique personality of each terroir in every bottle. Thus, excellence and sustainability form the common thread that unites all of the Masaveu Wineries projects across different regions of Spain: Murua (DOCa Rioja), Fillaboa (DO Rías Baixas), Pagos de Araiz (DO Navarra), Leda (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León), and Valverán (Asturias).
Five Wineries in Different Denominations of Origin
Murua Wineries is located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, in Elciego, a historic town established in the 16th century. —which endows it with a unique winemaking tradition. Here, Murua holds a valuable heritage: 110 hectares of its own vineyards, with very old vines over 60 years of age; 30 plots with deep-rooted vines that fully express the typical character of their native varieties — Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo, Viura, Malvasía, and Garnacha. It was the first winery to become part of this wine group 45 years ago.
The Valverán ice cider — the first and most exclusive ice cider in the Iberian Peninsula — is the result of over ten years of research and experimentation. In 1998, in Sariego, at the heart of the Cider Region of Asturias, José Masaveu Herrero, General Director of Masaveu Wineries, began his most personal project at Llagares Valverán. Here, more than 20,000 apple trees are tended using integrated organic farming techniques on an estate that captures all the lush green charm of the Asturian landscape.
Fillaboa Wineries is located in the D.O. Rías Baixas and embodies the magic of Galicia, the charm of its landscapes, and the allure of unique Albariño vineyards spread across 54 hectares. A 1,600-meter-long stone wall encloses the vineyards, an impressive manor house, and a stone chapel—remnants of its magnificent history. Fillaboa was founded in the late 18th century and has been part of the Masaveu family since 2000. It is one of the oldest and largest estates in Galicia and the only winery belonging to the prestigious association Grandes Pagos de España, which promotes, recognizes, and encourages Spanish wines of the highest quality tied to the uniqueness of the land and the estate where they are grown.With the acquisition of the Finca Pagos de Araiz by the Masaveu family in 2000, a fresh and bold project was born in Navarra, which culminated in the founding of the winery in 2003. This venture began with the construction of an entirely avant-garde building… 14,000 m² located on the outskirts of the medieval town of Olite/Erriberri. In the following three years, They planted, on this 400-hectare estate, 240 hectares of their own vineyards around the facilities. Its innovative management style and extensive wine tourism offer connect Pagos de Araiz to the historical, natural, and winemaking heritage of the surrounding area, blending with art and gastronomy. It is the ideal setting for a bright and promising future, linked to the values of Navarra, a region that is both a classic and emerging wine-producing area.Talking about Leda, located in Tudela de Duero (Valladolid), is to speak of unusual and extraordinary wines that reflect power and personality; of an attractive “multiterrior” winery concept that connects the essence of the Tempranillo grape with the expression of selected vineyards from different regions of Castilla y León. The winery was initially driven in 1998 by the prestigious winemaker Mariano García, associated with some of Spain’s most important wine projects. The Masaveu family joined the project in 2009, later producing wines with an organic farming philosophy that shows the utmost respect for the vineyard.
