Three generations
of winemaking
In April 1923, the founder of our winery -- my grandfather -- Vicente Garrido, presented the grape harvest of 1922.
Vicente taught my father, Eduardo Garrido, to make fine Rioja wines …
And now, I, Amelia Garrido, alongside my father, will carry on the third generation of our traditional family winemaking.
Ábalos, La Rioja
The Land
The Eduardo Garrido Winery is located in the village of Abalos of La Rioja Alta region of Northern Spain and enjoys more than five hundred years of viticulture history.
Abalos rests at the base of the Sierra Cantabria mountains at 600 meters above sea level, in a highly unique geographic locale of the Rioja Alta.
Our region is blessed by winds of the Cantabria Sea that create an ideal microclimate for our grapes.
This climate, in conjunction with the calcium-rich clay soils that dominate the region, helps produce some the best winegrowing conditions in the entire Rioja region.
Thus, our wines are consistently elegant, fruity and of strong bouquet.
