SINCE ITS INCEPTION,<br />
THE COMPANY HAS FOCUSED<br />
ON SUSTAINABILITY<br />
The company actually markets several brands, some of them spanning several<br />
appellations…<br />
Yes, this is a pioneering approach in the wine industry. With Pata Negra, we have<br />
brought together several designations of origin under one brand, which is now<br />
present in the DOs Jumilla, Ribera del Duero, Rioja, La Mancha, Rueda, Toro,<br />
Cava and Valdepeñas. This has facilitated García Carrión’s international development<br />
because we have been able to export wines from different DOs under a<br />
single name. This has made it easier for us to secure greater awareness outside<br />
Spain.<br />
Behind this variety, are there common traits that represent the hallmark of<br />
García Carrión?<br />
Absolutely. All García Carrión wines have one common denominator – quality.<br />
Our family comes from generations of farmers and we have a strong commitment<br />
to the land and its products. This is why we constantly make it our mission to<br />
ensure that our business has as little impact as possible on the environment, and<br />
even a positive impact. That is our pledge.<br />
This year, extreme heat and very little rain during the summer and autumn<br />
defined the season. How did the harvest go? Was it early? What will the 2022<br />
vintage be like?<br />
This year we started harvesting at the end of August with the early varieties.<br />
Despite the heat, the quality of the grapes is very good. We are very happy with<br />
the results and we have very high expectations for the quality of the wine.<br />
