Bodegas Langa Real de Aragon Garnacha, Calatayud 2015

Bodegas Langa — Bodegas Langa is family owned and operated and is the only bodega in the Calatayud region that is not a cooperative. The family’s business model requires a family member to be in every aspect of their operation. Their grapes are grown in either of their two estate vineyards, which are located in different parts of the region with distinctively different microclimates. No herbicides, pesticides, or chemicals of any kind are used in the vineyards. All of their wines and cavas are produced organically with the European certification. The bodega is now working to obtain the U.S. organic certification.

History — The bodega was founded in 1867 and was moved several times. The present bodega was built in 1985 and has been refurbished several times. Today, the bodega is a state of the art facility with all of the latest technological advances.
