Wine story

When Don Juan Muñoz López arrived in this land to grow his vines and produce his own wine, he was astonished at the large number of partridges roaming there.

One day, while walking through the “jarilla”, he discovered one of these birds sleeping. The partridge, hearing him approach, quickly flew away.

A neighbouring farmer told him that these ancient local inhabitants could often be seen in groups of three. As the days passed, the partridges became Don Juan’s constant companions in his long workdays. Thus, he decided to name his winery Partridge Vineyard: “Viña las Perdices”
