Our History
GARNACHA has traditionally been the second most planted grape variety in Rioja. It is locally known as La Maldita (The Accursed or Little Bad One), due to the difficulties it poses in making high quality wines and to its yields, so low that there is little profit for the grape grower. That is why many have opted for grubbing it up to replace it with other varieties. The wines of La Maldita aim to recover this Rioja heritage, proving that this is a great land for growing GARNACHA. To do this, we choose vineyards planted at higher altitudes in soils where this variety is expressed at its fullest. Learn More
