About Gomez Cruzado

Gómez Cruzado is the boutique winery of el Barrio de la Estación. The project brings together all the ingredients necessary for creating wines of extremely high quality: classified origin and marked typicity, dedicated to the fine style of Haro’s Barrio de la Estación. The origins of Bodegas y Viñedos Gómez Cruzado date back to 1886, when Ángel Gómez de Arteche, a nobleman related to the Duke of Moctezuma de Tultengo, decided to start making and bottling his own wine in Haro, in the heart of Rioja Alta.

Thus, a century-old cellar was born which would go on to make history in Haro and Rioja during the late 19th century. Gómez Cruzado was bought in 1916 by Ángel and Jesús Gómez Cruzado, both natives of Rioja, for whom today´s winery is named. At the beginning of the new millenium, the winery changed hands to the Baños family: the current owners, who hail from Badarán. At present Gómez Cruzado is run by Juan Bautista, an experienced Rioja winemaker that has worked for Telmo Rodriguez Cia, with a special focus in Rioja for twenty plus years. Six wines comprise Gómez Cruzado’s primary collection: Blanco, Crianza, Vendimia Seleccionada, Reserva, Gran Reserva and Honorable.
