From Bodegas Mas Que Vinos, founded in 1998 by three friends: Margarita Madrigal, Alexandra Schemedes and Gonzalo Rodriguez. These three winemakers, each one with extensive winemaking experience, saw the great potential of the vineyards in Gonzalo's hometown of Dosbarrios (outside Toledo), so they launched their personal winery project. They did this by rescuing old plots of indigenous grape varieties and moved to all organic viticulture. The old family winery (from 1851) was renovated, and in 2007, a new modern winery was constructed in nearby Cabanas de Yepes.
