Antaño
The historic flavor of La Rioja
ANTAÑO
― Tradition and quality in a unique wine ―
Antaño is produced in our winery located in Labastida, a historic village in the Rioja Alavesa region. The winery covers an area of 35,000 m2 and has a production and bottling capacity of 50 million bottles per year. It currently has 20,000 American and French oak Bordeaux barrels where the wines rest quietly before bottling and subsequent aging in the bottle.
The traditional commitment to excellence of Rioja wines has allowed them to consolidate their prestigious image among consumers and become the benchmark for quality in Spanish winemaking, both with their more classic wines, whose unique aging qualities are admired by consumers around the world, and with a new generation of innovative wines.
RIOJA
Rioja represents the origin of quality wine in our country and, since 1991, has been the first Qualified Designation of Origin. This wine region is located in the north of the country, between two mountain ranges that form a valley with the ideal climate for growing grapes.
Most of the wines produced in this region are reds, made from the Tempranillo variety: the grape that best represents Spanish wines. This grape can produce red or black fruit profiles, depending on the microclimate in which it is grown and the type of wine it is intended for. As for white wines, most are made from the Viura variety, resulting in fresh and aromatic wines.
The vineyards of La Rioja are one of the greatest examples of wine quality in our country, internationally recognized and appreciated in every corner of the world. García-Carrión has two wineries in this region with a long tradition of wine production.
There, it has four varieties of red grapes and three white grapes to produce prestigious wines under this designation. In total, the wineries cover an area of 55,000 square meters to accommodate a production of 30 million liters, the latest technology in production, and a stock of 25,000 French and American barrels.
