BODEGAS ONTAÑÓN, S.L.
Bodegas Ontañón was established in 1984 by a local family who has grown vines and owned vineyards for many years. Today the family has more than 300 hectares of vines in three well-known Spanish winemaking regions. . Ontanon use modern and innovative enological techniques, combined with traditional knowledge to make our wines. New wine making facilities were built in 2002 and 2007 to house the new stainless steel tanks, the winepresses and vertical wine presses in optimal conditions. The grapes are hand selected upon arrival in the winery. Fermentation processes are carried out separately according to the types of grape. Vertical presses, used in Rioja from the ancient times, are exclusively used to obtain the unfermented grape juice of the most remarkable wines. The emblem of Bodegas Ontañón is: A passion for the vine, a passion for wine, a passion for art. Our Winery-Museum in Logroño was the first one in Rioja to open to visitors in 1997. Our wines age gracefully in the cool shadows of the barrels room and bottles room. 5000 French and American oak barrels are watched over by the sculpture of “Oinopion and Pholos” created by Miguel Angel Sainz. His artwork is permanently displayed in our winery-museum. The exhibition “Mythology and wine” shows the importance of wine to cultures from ancient Mediterranean times to the present day. Ontañón wines can be found exclusively in restaurants, hotels and specialist shops. We offer the best quality at a reasonable price for customers that are looking for something special outside the average stereotypical wines. Ontañón wines are exported to many countries. We carefully select our importers and they always receive maximum support from us. A long-term collaboration to last in time. We participate in special projects such as the satellites Herschel and Plank that were launched from ESA (European Space Agency)'s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. ESA selected our ONTANON RESERVA 2001 as the event’s commemorative wine and these were prepared for the occasion with a special custom-made label. All the passion and effort have been recognised with many national and international awards through the years. Year after year, Bodegas Ontanon shows enthusiasm for the art of true craftsmanship and devotion to a new life, which demands and deserves delicate care from harvest until adulthood.
