About Finca Río Negro

Located in Cogolludo (Guadalajara), at the foothills of the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara Natural Park. In 1998 the Fuentes family founded Finca Río Negro, reviving a winemaking tradition wiped out by phylloxera in the 1920s. Since 2025 the estate holds Vino de Pago status, Spain's highest quality designation. At 1,000 meters above sea level, it is among the highest vineyards at this latitude in Europe, with the nearest neighboring vineyard 60 km away. The 44-hectare estate is divided into 36 plots of Tempranillo, Tinto Fragoso, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Gewürztraminer on old, nutrient-poor ‘raña’ soils over limestone. The vineyard and winery are certified organic by the European Union.
