Three generations of winemaking
In Ábalos, La Rioja Alta,
region of Northern Spain that enjoys more than five hundred years of viticulture history.
In April 1923, the founder of our winery -- my grandfather -- Vicente Garrido, presented the grape harvest of 1922.
Vicente taught my father, Eduardo Garrido, to make fine Rioja wines …
And now, I, Amelia Garrido, alongside my father, will carry on the third generation of our traditional family winemaking.
