History

The land where we cultivate our vineyards has always been wine country. Pliny the Elder, the Roman author from the 1st century AD, already referenced this area in his writings. History also tells us that pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago were traditionally offered wine from Castilla y León—wines made in monasteries and private homes for personal consumption, just as our own family once did.

This tradition lives on in a winery carved into the mountain itself, like many that once dotted the province. Dating back to the 18th century, it has belonged to our family ever since. In our new winery, located in restored houses in our village, we are committed to reviving traditional winemaking know-how. We craft our wines from century-old native vineyards, combining modern production techniques with the utmost care and respect for the grape.

Our village, Herreros de Jamuz, is known for its abundant water and was once called “the village of fountains” by the locals. It is a place of natural beauty and ecological importance, designated as a protected bird sanctuary and renowned for its enveloping silence.

With its name and philosophy, Fuentes del Silencio embodies the love our family feels for this land and its history—a love that inspires us to contribute to its future.
