Old Vines Garnacha
D.O. Cariñena

Cariñena has a long history of winemaking, dating back to 300 years before Christ. In 1932, Cariñena was established as a D.O. region, however it was not up until the late 80’s that Cariñena began to receive international recognition as a quality wine producing region, when a couple of private wineries popped up and a few Cooperatives started to focus on bottling their wines as supposed to selling it bulk. In the late 1990’s the wine industry has attracted new investors to the region that have invested millions of Euros in state-of-the-art Châteaux style wineries.

The Garnacha grape has been the indigenous grape variety in the historical Aragon region and cultivated in places like Cariñena for centuries. It is also by far the most widely cultivated grape variety in the region, representing more than 60% of the total plantation.
