Finca Río Negro
Description
Data of interest
The origin of the winery Finca Río Negro dates back to 1998, when José Manuel Fuentes and his family decided to plant vineyards in Cogolludo (Guadalajara), at no less than 1000 meters altitude, in an area where viticulture had been practically abandoned, and at a considerable distance from other vineyards, which, however, centuries ago was the cradle of great wines. After years of research, in 2010 the winery launched its first wine on the market.
Since then, its rise has been meteoric. Currently, Finca Río Negro has 44 hectares of its own vineyards. It cultivates the red varieties tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, and merlot, as well as the white gewürztraminer. Additionally, it is committed to the recovery of an almost extinct variety, the tinto fragoso.
Since March 2025, the Fuentes family winery has been recognized as a Vino de Pago, the highest category that can be achieved in Spain. Thus, the brand has its own protected designation of origin (D.O. Río Negro), in recognition of the quality and uniqueness of its vineyard.
