La Renacida is a boutique label from Finca Museum, owned by Grupo Barón de Ley in Cigales, Castilla y León. It comes from just under three hectares of gobelet-trained vines planted in 1928, producing very low yields. The vineyard is worked entirely by hand, with no chemical fertilizers; an organic sheep-manure conditioner is used, and organic certification is in progress. This small-scale cuvée reflects old-vine viticulture and careful, low-intervention vineyard management within the wider estate.
