The winery consists of a set of small buildings which gather around a country house that still serves as a residence for Luis Sanz, the current owner, and his relatives. The white-washed walls, the low buildings and the U-shaped architectural structure give buildings a Basque air rather than Castilian, as if it were an old estate of flourishing past.

However, the distinctive landscape speaks by itself: behind the cellar-home there is a leafy forest of Mediterranean pines that spreads out to the banks of the Duero river, whose water marks the estate’s limits. The distinctive riverside vineyard stretches along the front, partly on a flat area and partly perched on the mountains. Today vine stocks are Dehesa de los Canónigos’ reason for being and wine its most important activity.
