Ramón Castaño founded Bodegas Castaño, in 1950. Pioneering the use of the Monastrell grape. With the incorporation of his three children, the true innovation started and with it, the expansion to international markets. Two winemaking cellars, fully equipped with stainless steel tanks for a correct maceration process at controlled temperatures. An underground oak barrel-ageing cellar with temperatura and humidity control, and a warehouse with the appropriate light and conditions to provide the wine bottles with their final rest before their release to the world.
