In 2015, construction began on a small winery, and a year later, the estate's vineyard was expanded to 20 hectares, spread across four heritage areas of Rioja Alavesa (Salinillas de Buradón, Kripan, Lanciego, and Elvillar).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBodega 202 is a personal and family project.
