CASTILLO DE LA PEÑA
Castillo de la Peña Garnacha
Our founding father played a pivotal role in the formation of D.O. Campo de Borja in 1978, as the owner of the region’s only winery to boast a bottling line. All other wineries at the time had specialised in serving wine in bulk to some of the most exclusive wine regions of Spain and France. However, Señor Ruberte recognised the potential of his vines to produce high quality wine in its own right and was the first to bottle his wines. This later enabled the official Denominación de Origen to be established, nearly twenty years after Señor Ruberte produced his first bottle.
In 2017, our winery was awarded the coveted title of the BEST WINERY IN ARAGÓN, by the Academia Aragonesa de Gastronomía. The region of Aragón plays host to some of Spain’s most prestigious wineries from the appellations of DO Campo de Borja, DO Calatayud, DO Cariñena and DO Somontano, so this is a truly great honour.
