The winery is an old convent of the sixteenth century founded by the Trinitarian order. In 1608 he was delivered to the Reformed Order of the Barefoot Trinitarians, from where the name of the bodega arose, and whose monks he cared for years after years, despite reforms and natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Wine made in paradise

The estate is divided into two heights, the winery and the vineyard field, located on the Cornisa del Tajo de Ronda, surrounded by three Natural Parks. The winery is an old 16th century convent. The Descalzos Viejos farm has an area of 16 hectares. At the rear of the building, there is a beautiful terraced garden with fruit trees and a water source. The vineyard is found in the lower part of the estate, between old olive trees and holm oaks.

A common dream

The project involved the recovery of the main building, gardens, orchards, ponds, fountains and the entire environment, reintegrating and consolidating all the original architectural and artistic elements that could be recovered. Surprising was the appearance of some frescoes on the main altar, where the deposits and barrels are located, which, hidden under numerous layers of lime, chips and damp, have miraculously survived. These frescoes reflect Santa Justa and Santa Rufina, and what less than to pay homage to them by creating two wines with their name "Iusta" and "Rufina".
