About the Producer

Bodegas Castaño is a family winery that has evolved over the years to become one of the leading wine producers in the south-east of Spain. Ramón Castaño Santa, founder of Bodegas Castaño, began producing the first bulk wines in 1950. A pioneer in the use of the Monastrell grape, he expanded the family legacy with the purchase of new estates. With the gradual integration of his three sons, Ramón, Juan Pedro and Daniel Castaño, came innovation, opening the doors to the international market. They have two vinification warehouses in Bodegas Castaño where the stainless steel tanks are placed for the correct fermentation of the wines at controlled temperatures. An underground cellar for subsequent aging in oak barrels.
