Grandes Pagos de España

ASTOBIZA IS PART OF "GRANDES PAGOS DE ESPAÑA" BECAUSE WE SHARE
THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AND COMMITMENT TOWARDS EXCELLENCE

There is a group of winegrowers in Spain who are dedicated in body and soul to producing exceptional wines. Winegrowers who love their estates and strive to protect the surrounding environment as though it were a precious jewel. People who cultivate the land with the same dedication and care as Mother Nature provides their vineyards with the best natural resources (soil, nature, climate), and extraordinary beauty as well.

When these winegrowers got together and tasted each other’s wines, they realised that not only did they share a passion and a work philosophy, but they could go one step further by working together to produce exceptional wines. And that is how Grandes Pagos de España came to be Grandes Pagos de España.
