The grape growing and winemaking tradition of the Castillo family dates back several generations. Consequently, we enjoy the privilege of owning centuries-old vineyards that provide grapes of extraordinary quality.
All the wine that we produce at Bodegas Zurbal is made with grapes from our own vineyards, which cover a total of 25 hectares. The most salient are those planted at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level, in fairly pebbly, chalky-clay soils that ensure better water conservation and improved grape quality.
One of the plots is planted with organic grapes, as we are among the few Rioja wineries that make organic wine.
We employ two grape varieties: Tempranillo, for making red wines and Viura for whites.
