Bodegas Criadores de Rioja has had agreements in place for many years with over 500 families of small growers who devote their lives to growing grapes from one generation to the next. The winery is owned by one of the families with longest tradition in the production of Rioja wines, now in its 5th generation. Vista Alegre is the name of our most loved vineyards, located at the heart of the region surrounded by a beautiful landscape

Rioja is the most famous wine region in Spain. Rioja and wine have a relationship that dates back millenia, since the Romans occupied these lands in the 2nd century BC. The marks of grape growing and winemaking have been part of the landscape, since then. The diversity of terroir is reflected in Rioja wines which ranges from easy-drinking young wines to more rustic, fuller styles which are capable to be cellared for years. It is the winemaking process that distinguishes rioja wines from other Spanish wines. Most top red Rioja wines are matured in oak barrels
