Bodega De Bardos Clea Crianza

The Estate

In 1999, José Miguel Arambarri, from La Rioja, decided to rebuild his ancestors' business and to plant his first vineyard. Before long there would be many more vineyards, wines and wineries with the incorporation of his sons, José Miguel and Ricardo, with a clear goal: to innovate the wine market. Today Vintae is a wine company with more than 50 employees that continues to grow year after year and so far produces wines in 15 Denominations of Origin. These are some of the key moments of this exciting journey towards revolution in the world of wine.
