Located in Fuendejalón, in DO Campo de Borja, the origins of Bodegas Aragonesas winery go back to 1145, when the Cistercian monks of the Veruela monastery started cultivating Grenache, a variety indigenous to Aragón that is nowadays grown in most wine producing countries. Interestingly, the winery owns th biggest extension of old Grenache vineyards in the world, from which it produces some of its best-known wines, such as the famed red wine Fagus.

The wines of Bodegas Aragonesas are vinified in an environmentally friendly and sustainable building, called Espacio Terroir-Garnacha, equipped with state-of-the-art winemaking technology. It is worth mentioning that almost half of the electricity consumed by the building, one of Spain’s biggest winemaking facilities, is generated by solar panels. The production numbers are remarkable; the winery makes 7 milion bottles of wine every year, which are sold in over 60 countries across the five continents
