Found on the banks of the Ebro River in Logrono, it has hosted several famous figures throughout its history, including the King of Spain Alfonso XIII in 1925 and American writer Ernest Hemingway in 1956. The Franco-Española wine portfolio offers an extensive range of styles and price points. It is known for its Bordón line of Rioja DOCa including a gran reserva, inspired in name by the winery's ties to Bordeaux. Other wines in the collection are produced primarily from Tempranillo, Viura, Grenache (Garnacha) and Carignan. Estate vineyards are found throughout the Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental subregions. Grapes are also sourced from a handful of external growers creating a wide variety of terroirs that contribute to the range of wine styles in the portfolio. It was founded in 1890 as a collaboration between French and Spanish merchants, vignerons and winegrowers, led by Bordeaux négociant Frederick Anglade Saurat. At the time, French vineyards were being devastated by the spread of phylloxera and foreign wines were gaining popularity as a result. This led some French producers to migrate to new viticultural areas in Spain, and in particular to Rioja. The region flourished under the influence of Bordeaux winemakers until it too was devasted by phylloxera in the early 20th Century. In 1922, the French were bought out by their Spanish partners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50160741056650,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/61_4db34d78-bb9a-4700-bf83-65ee70e6a223.png?v=1788873661","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/products\/2012-franco-espanolas-excelso-gran-reserva","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
