The Company
History
Bodegas y Viñedos del Jalón S.A. was founded in 1999 by the joining of three bodegas within the Denominación de Origen Calatayud – Bodega San Isidro of Maluenda, Bodega San Fabián of Mara and Bodega Virgen del Mar y de la Cuesta of Munébrega – and with the participation of the Government of Aragón, through the Instituto Aragonés de Fomento and four Aragonese financial institutions - Ibercaja, CAI, Multicaja and Cajalón.
Bodegas y Viñedos del Jalón S.A. was created to develop the grape growing, wine production and commercialization of bottles wines, both young wines and crianzas, from the three bodegas. The three bodegas were founded in the 1960’s, to process the grape production from the villages of Abanto, Acered, Alarba, Belmonte, Bijuesca, Calatayud, Carenas, Castejón de Alarba, Castejón de las Armas, Cimballa, Clarés de Ribota, El Frasno, Fuentes de Jiloca, Ibdes, Maluenda, Mara, Monterde, Montón, Morata de Jiloca, Munébrega, Nuévalos, Olvés, Orera, Paracuellos de Jiloca, Ruesca, Sediles, Terrer, Valtorres, Velilla de Jiloca, La Vilueña, Villafeliche, Villalba de Perejiles y Villarrolla.
Bodegas y Viñedos del Jalón S.A was founded to provide the dynamism and enterprise that was needed in the Denominación de Origen Calatayud to strengthen its position in the market, and to be the driving force in developing new practices in viticulture and viniculture, while remaining faithful to the region’s traditions.
Quality, professionalism and ambition, together with attention to detail, have been the key to rediscovering the tradition and potential of the region of Calatayud.
Our three bodegas, situated in very different parts of the region of Calatayud, are equipped to maximize the qualities and potential of their particular areas. One bodega is dedicated to the production of Crianza wines, with a 2,000 barrel, temperature and humidity controlled barrel hall; one bodega is dedicated to limited production wines, Alto expression wines and experimental production, while the third bodega is home to all our larger scale production, our main bottling line and our laboratory.
With over 2,200 hectares of vineyard, that constitutes over 40% of the Denominación de Calatayud, and almost 50% of its bottled production, Bodegas y Viñedos del Jalón S.A. is without doubt the major force in the economy of the region.
Quality is all important. Striking a balance between tradition and technology, our team of young professionals are open to innovation and advances, in search of ways of raising quality. With a deep knowledge of tradition and the force of human endeavor and technology – as much in the vineyards as in the bodegas – our wines meet the changing needs of the market.
Our wines have not only been recognized in the Spanish market, but have found successful export markets around the globe. The United Kingdom, United States of America, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and Brazil , have all become important markets for the wines of Bodegas y Viñedos del Jalón S.A.
