Bodegas Aradon was founded in 1957 in the village Alcanadre, 25km from Logroño, La Rioja, Spain. The history of our winery has been closely linked to the history of the Romans in the 1st century A.C. They introduced the Mediterranen crops: the vine and the olive tree. Romans entered the Iberian Peninsula through the Ebro delta in the 1st century A.C. They settled in a village called “Aradon”. Nowadays our vineyards grow free in that magic place. We grow different grape varieties, such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, Graciano, Viura, White Garnacha. All of them come from our 400 hectares of own vineyard. Our vines have a sustainable growing in harmony with the nature, thanks to the use of traditional and modern ways. They are grown in old vines, deeply rooted in our native land and culture, providing us with a unique quality.
