Bodegas y Viñedos Sentencia was born as a way to protect a family wine heritage that is unsustainable in the current production model.

The reinterpretation of a unique legacy, with its ancestral vineyards, almost forgotten varieties, its environment, its history, the diversity of its soils, has given rise to avant-garde, hand-made wines, full of authenticity and originality.

Alberto Pedrón comes from a long line of vine growers in Los Pedrones, a village of fewer than 200 inhabitants in the comarca of Utiel-Requena, Valencia. His most vivid memory from childhood is of the morning his father woke him before dawn to take him out to one of the family vineyards that had been freshly dusted with snow.

Over the years, many of these familial plots fell victim to the “restructuring” of Spanish vineyard land, whereby old plantations were pulled up and replanted with higher-yielding varieties from other parts of the world. In 2006, a 6-hectare plantation that had been tended by Alberto’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather was similarly “sentenced to death”, and he decided to take action. To save the vineyard and, by extension, a way of working and living, he would resurrect the family bodega.
