who we are
Excellent, limited and sustainable elaborations from own vineyards since 1974
Bodegas Masaveu , belonging to the Corporación Masaveu business group, was born in 1974 when this family acquired Bodegas Murua in the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin . In its beginnings, this winery produced wine privately as a result of the passion of this family and its link with the wine world, but later it was decided to bet on the commercialization remodeling and adapting the winery and promoting it to the highest quality standards with the elaboration of excellent wines .

In this area of the province of Barcelona began the steps that a century later would continue their descendants from the north of Spain, specifically Asturias , where this family ended up settling over the years and where a group of companies in different sectors and businesses forged: Masaveu Corporation .
