La Rioja Alta

10 July 1890: here our story begins. That day, five Riojan and Basque families who shared a passion for wine, founded the ‘Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta’.

Thus began an exciting business venture whose founders enthusiastically shared the dream of making and ageing top-quality Rioja wines.

The region with a winemaking tradition dating back thousands of years benefited from the arrival in the late 19th century of French winemakers who had been affected by the devastating phylloxera.
