Winery Montilla-Moriles

The area's winemaking vocation dates back to antiquity: Montilla and the surrounding localities are already mentioned in Roman times and show a long tradition. The geographic names Montilla and Moriles were protected by the so‑called Estatuto de la Viña y el Vino, and the modern appellation consolidated its regulatory framework with the creation of the Consejo Regulador and the regulations published in the mid‑20th century. Since then the area has continued to specialise in the production of Pedro Ximénez and in local aging techniques.

Showcase the indigenous Pedro Ximénez variety and the traditional practices of the area — asoleo, fermentations and typical ageing systems — combining respect for tradition with technical adaptation to ensure quality and territorial identity.

The production area lies in the central-southern part of the province of Córdoba, between the Genil and Guadajoz rivers, with gently rolling terrain and albariza/marl soils. The DOP fully includes Montilla, Moriles, Doña Mencía, Montalbán, Monturque, Nueva Carteya and Puente Genil, and parts of Aguilar de la Frontera, Baena, Cabra, Castro del Río, Espejo, Fernán Núñez, La Rambla, Lucena, Montemayor and Santaella; there is also a "Superior" subzone characterized by superior albariza soils.
