Curiosities:

The Marquis of Griñón , associated with its excellent wines from the payments Domain of Valdepusa and El Rincón in the mountains of Toledo, returns this year to make its own wines in the DO.Ca.Rioja where until now it had ceded its brand to a third party.

The Marqués de Griñón has been one of the pioneers in the modernization of viticulture and wine in Spain. He graduated in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Leuven (Belgium), and later also from Davis University (California). In 1974 he introduced the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varieties to Spain, which he later extended to Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and Syrah.

In this 2015 the milestone is the recovery of wine production in Rioja and Rueda, returning to a path in which he already took important steps in the 80s and 90s. Proof of the constancy and enormous vitality of this man affable, great conversationalist and tireless. From this tenacity the "Selección Especial" was born, which has nothing to do with the wines that until now had carried his name in Rioja.
