Information about the producer: Bodegas Corral began selling their own wines in 1898 during the rush of Bordeaux producers coming to Rioja to buy quality wines. Today the family feel exists and the latest generation has supported a move to 100% organic production and various sustainability programs to ensure the winery survives for future generations.
