The origins of Bodegas Fernando Castro date back to 1850, when its founder started his career in the world of viticulture. Since then, this activity has passed from father to son and has given rise to the most traditional family winery of its region.

A wine-producing company which has learned to adapt to both the new times and technologies, whilst keeping the expertise and essence of the traditions passed down from generation to generation.

New generations and new markets have received the Bodegas Fernando Castro wines, which have already conquered the palates of the great majority of the public. Consumers from 46 European countries, as well as other countries such as the USA, Japan or Canada all enjoy the great variety of the Castro wines, each with its own personality and taste.

The winery also boasts qualified oenological staff who, on a daily basis, supervise the evolution of the wines before they enter the wine cellar. At Bodegas Fernando Castro we know that wine is made from the stock, and that special care and attention must therefore be given to it. That is why we pamper and take care of our raw material to the maximum.
