Montelium statement
We thrive in making fine wines that enrich the taste&soul.
Passion & Elegance
Imagine an enchanting evening at a secluded vineyard, nestled in the picturesque hills of the Ribera del Duero, in the quiet village of Montejo de la Vega de la Serrezuela. Here, friends from Geneva, Madrid, Marbella, Sanxenxo, Rome, and Dubai gathered, united by their shared passion for wine, cherished memories, and the thrill of discovering exclusive treasures. Amidst anecdotes and smiles, as they looked around, they realized that what connected them was much deeper than distance.
With a shared background in aviation and a desire to cultivate a deeper bond with the land, they dreamed of creating something eternal and bottling their friendship in an immortal way: a wine that harmonized the quality of the rich terroir, the pursuit of sophistication, and the liberating spirit of flight. That night, under a starry sky, Montelium was born, transforming into a profound connection between them, soon to soar to new heights above the Ribera del Duero vineyards.
Initially, this exceptional wine was conceived as an intimate creation, meant to be enjoyed among themselves, capturing those precious moments of connection, as if each drop held a whisper of their shared stories. With a selection of high-quality grapes and meticulous production, every step in creating Montelium was a reminder of what united them: the warmth of sincere conversation, the laughter that springs forth in unexpected moments, and the shared silence when words are unnecessary.
Today, Montelium opens its doors to the world, sharing its essence with those who value quality and exclusivity. Not just any wine, but a reflection of something much deeper and more personal: an invitation to experience the passion of its creators, symbolizing human connection, the art of living, and those moments that transcend time and borders. Each bottle reveals an adventure filled with passion, elegance, dedication, freedom, friendship, and nostalgia for days of reunion.
Welcome on board to Montelium, a small boutique winery that produces exceptional, limited-edition wines. We invite you to relax and enjoy the journey while our crew ensures that every sip becomes an elegant ode to the luxury of friendship.
