Bodegas Vinicola Real was founded in 1989 by Miguel Ángel Rodríguez in Albelda de Iregua, a town with a remarkable history, whose roots go back beyond the medieval era.
Vinícola Real was built near the chapel of Santa Catalina, the only part that remains of the Monastery of San Martín de Albelda founded in the year 924 AD, the Monastery was destroyed due to the detachment of the Salagona rock in 1683.

The idea is to produce "great wines" from a single terroir, with a differentiated method of production and aging, and with a strong personality (the new style of La Rioja).
The name "200 Monges" is a tribute to the disappeared monastery of San Martín de Albeda located in La Rioja and to all those monks who dedicated themselves to safeguarding culture.
The White Wine 200 Monges Special Selection is made with the grape varieties: Viura, Malvasia and Garnachas from the D.O. La Rioja, a limited edition white wine that is part of the Vinícola Real "Whites with Red Soul" collection, a wine with a long journey and an extraordinary capacity for evolution in the bottle that was born with the ambition to surprise with its freshness and the contrasts between its power and delicacy.
