Queiron 'Mi Lugar' is a masterful blend that embodies the distinctive terroir of Quel, a historic village nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de Yerga in Rioja Oriental. Created from a careful blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes sourced from elevated plots exceeding 600 meters, ‘Mi Lugar’ captures the spirit of place (“mi lugar”) with every sip. This wine reflects the dedication of the Pérez Cuevas family, who, for generations, have tended vineyards in this rugged landscape, reviving traditional sites to craft wines of exceptional character and longevity.

Sensory Description Mi Lugar showcases a deep, black cherry hue with vivid violet reflections. On the nose, it exudes rich aromas of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by smoky, spicy notes and a touch of minerality. As it unfolds, balsamic hints of wild herbs such as rosemary and thyme, along with delicate whispers of liquorice, reveal themselves. The palate is bold yet elegant, with a powerful and meaty entry that flows seamlessly into a harmonious structure marked by balanced acidity. Its finish is long and silky, leaving a lingering impression of refined spice and floral nuances.
Winemaker’s Background Queiron represents the Pérez Cuevas family's passion and dedication to the vineyards of Quel, a lineage that has cultivated these lands for over four generations. Gabriel Pérez, founder of Queiron and Ontañón wineries, envisioned Queiron as a tribute to his roots, located in the heart of Quel’s historic winemaking district. This dream took shape over a decade of painstaking work, with a focus on restoring traditional vineyards and utilizing gravity-fed winemaking techniques. Now run by Gabriel’s children, Queiron is a testament to the family’s commitment to sustainable practices, regional heritage, and the unique expression of Rioja Oriental.
Serving Suggestions For optimal enjoyment, serve Queiron 'Mi Lugar' at 60-64°F. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, and dishes with rich sauces that complement its robust structure and fruit-forward profile. For a refined pairing, try it with cured Spanish meats or aged Manchego cheese. With proper storage, this wine’s acidity and structure allow it to age gracefully for decades, developing even greater depth and complexity over time.
