Bodegas Solar Viejo was established 1937 within the medieval town of Laguardia. Tempranillo wines share a long history with the ancient hamlet and almost all the town's buildings have their own underground wine cellars. It is here that old world winemaking traditions meet state of the art oenology, translating into a perfectly integrated Tempranillo wine, after a term of ageing in a selection of seasoned oak barrels.
