Bodegas Manzanos gives its name to the group of wineries that best represents the identity of the Fernández de Manzanos family. These are three wineries: Azagra and Haro, in the Rioja DOCa and Campanas, in the Navarra DO. In these, the young team of the fifth generation of the family produces quality wines that are already acclaimed around the world. Its quality is already determined by its origin: its own extensive vineyard that they treat with the care of those who appreciate the difference of the fruit of nature.
Their vineyard extension in different sub-areas of the appellations gives them the power to play with the nuances of the terroir and the exquisite production process is completed in their cellars. In Rioja they have the emblematic and oldest winery of the denomination in Haro and its contemporary winery in Azagra, both using gravity as the architectural principle of production. Campanas is also the oldest in the Navarra DO. Years of sustained growth guarantee these young people who earn the respect and reputation of their wines day after day.
