Bodega Eduardo Garrido Garcia: A Legacy in Rioja Alta

Located in the heart of Rioja Alta in Abalos, Bodega Eduardo Garrido Garcia boasts over 500 years of winemaking tradition. Nestled on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria, Abalos stands at nearly 600 meters above sea level, making it one of the most esteemed winegrowing regions in Rioja Alta. The winery's roots trace back to April 1923 when Vicente Garrido, the founder and grandfather of the current owner, released the first vintage. Today, Amelia Garrido and her father continue this family legacy, representing the third generation dedicated to crafting exceptional wines.

This boutique winery features around 100 oak barrels and showcases a collection of antique artifacts that reflect the rich history of winemaking in Rioja from a century ago.

Exceptional Climate and Terroir

The vineyards of Bodega Eduardo Garrido Garcia are situated in prime locations, benefiting from clay-based soils rich in minerals that nurture some of the finest grapes in the region. The Atlantic winds create a unique microclimate, ideal for cultivating vines. This environment fosters the growth of ripe grapes, resulting in wines with elegant fruit flavors and robust structures.

Crafting Wines with Care

The winery primarily cultivates Tempranillo, Viura, Garnacha, Mozuelo, and Graciano grapes. Each grape is handpicked to ensure only the highest quality is used in their red and white wines. Aging in both French and American oak barrels allows these wines to develop their full flavor profiles and complexity, reflecting the unique characteristics of the Rioja Alta terroir.
