Marqués de Carrión
The historic flavor of La Rioja
MARQUÉS DE CARRIÓN
García Carrión has a presence in La Rioja with two wineries located in the municipalities of Labastida and Haro, towns with a long and renowned wine-making tradition that belong to the sub-zones of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta respectively, where the best vineyards in Rioja are located and where the grapes used to make Marqués de Carrión wines come from. We have four red and three white varieties for the production of our wines in the D.O. Ca. Rioja. The latest winemaking techniques are applied throughout our vineyard, allowing us to produce high-quality grapes and achieve optimal ripeness for making our cutting-edge 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 variety 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.
