Our vineyards

Bodegas 1890 (Jumilla, Murcia), built by the first generation to meet the surge in demand caused by the phylloxera crisis in France, takes its name from the year the family business was founded.

Its wines are the result of the effort and work of several generations who, over the years, have passed down the most suitable traditional practices while also adapting the finest grape varieties to the soils of Jumilla — a privileged area defined by the contrast of mountains and valleys. These wineries are therefore the greatest expression of the García-Carrión revolution and the starting point in the story of a great company and a great family.

The careful winemaking carried out here preserves the wine’s natural quality and enhances it throughout the fermentation process. Ageing takes place in American and French oak barrels.

The predominant variety is Monastrell — a noble grape, exceptionally well adapted to low rainfall, of outstanding quality and rich in tannins and polyphenols. Alongside this traditional variety, García-Carrión has also cultivated other highly regarded grapes such as Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.

The vineyards of La Rioja are among the finest examples of wine quality in Spain — internationally recognised and enjoyed all over the world. García-Carrión has two wineries in this region with a deep winemaking heritage.

Here, the company works with four red grape varieties and three white varieties to produce prestigious wines under this designation. Together, the wineries cover 55,000 square metres, with capacity for 30 million litres of production, state-of-the-art winemaking technology, and a cellar holding 25,000 French and American oak barrels.

Marqués de Carrión Winery (Labastida)

In 2006, García-Carrión acquired its Marqués de Carrión winery (Labastida, La Rioja), in an area with a strong wine tradition. The winery has more than 15,000 m² of built space, combining the latest technology with the utmost respect for winemaking tradition.

This historic Labastida winery is also home to the avant-garde Museum of Illusions, designed by renowned artist Jull Dziamski, turning the winery into a place where wine culture and visual arts coexist.

Major wine brands such as Marqués de Carrión and Antaño have been established here.

Marqués de Carrión Winery (Haro)

A decade later, in 2016, García-Carrión acquired another winery in La Rioja — this time in the heart of the historic town of Haro. Originally founded in 1896, this winery was visited in its day by well-known figures such as bullfighter Antonio Ordóñez, the Count of the Andes, and American writer Ernest Hemingway, a declared admirer of the wines of this historic designation.

In 2007, García-Carrión acquired Bodegas Los Llanos (Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real), where it produces wines under the Valdepeñas Protected Designation of Origin. This acquisition marked a major milestone: the consolidation of García-Carrión as the leading wine company in Spain.

This winery is home to one of the largest underground cellar complexes in Spain: the Cave of Art.

The name dates back to the origins of the cellars in 1977. Their sheer scale — together with the silence and darkness in which the winery’s wines are made — left no one indifferent. Anyone visiting these caves could easily sense the drive, dedication and care with which the master coopers and winemakers treated their wines, such as Señorío de los Llanos or Pata Negra.

The phrase “How much art there is here” became a familiar remark among visitors. That is why, in 1997, when it was decided to take things a step further, the iconic Sara Montiel was appointed godmother of the Cave of Art.

These caves bring together the art of Valdepeñas and the art of winemaking. For this reason, it became tradition to hold a sociocultural event each December to taste the new wine and read poetry. Later, one of the streets within the Cave of Art would be dedicated to distinguished figures of the time, including Juan Alcaide Sánchez (poet), Gregorio Prieto Muñoz (painter and draughtsman), Emilio Ruiz Parra (poet), and Cecilio Muñoz Fillol (veterinarian and humanist).
