Bodegas Paco García

The winery was created by Julia Pablo and Paco García in 2001 based in the village of Murillo de Rio Leza, South East of Logroño.

The winery was taken over by Juan Bautista in 2008, he started to look at the reasons behind the generational decline in wine consumption.

Juan Bautista’s dream was to make a living doing something he loved, something he was talented at and something that would bring pleasure to others. 

Fortunately, this was a problem he was happy to tackle. 

Starting with his friends he conducted some tastings to gauge how people react to different wines and he started to get real insight into what people respond to.

The hand print belongs to his father without whom this project would never have taken shape. 

The name Paco García is a tribute to both his father and his older brother, who is sadly no longer with them. 

The hand print reflects the daily work and strength that goes into the vineyards and the winery to craft these products. 

It is also unique and identifiable much as these wines carry the handprint of their vineyards and their Rioja history. 

The final piece of the puzzle fell into place when Ana joined the family and the team: she brings her expertise to getting these wines out into the international market.
