Facilities for a winery in northern Spain
The scheme effectively forms an extension of the existing winery facilities, where there are more than two kilometres of tunnels and subterranean galleries beneath the castle hill.
These spaces dedicated to the production and ageing of wine are connected by a tunnel to the new building, which presents a modern reinterpretation of traditional winery construction.
The new facilities are housed under five laminated timber arches and a terracotta tile-covered roof with steel supporting arms and a double-height basement area for storing wine.
