Candelaria Bodega

About us

The origin of wine development in Casas de los Pinos dates back to the 17th Century. The wine, made in small, home wineries ( bodegas), was intended for the family's own consumption. This continued until the end of the 19th Century, when the grape surpluses switched to the Girón Ruíz family. At the end of the 19th Century, they found the old winery and supply for Casa de los Pinos and its neighboring villages. Later on, in the 20th Century, nine other farming and livestock breeder families joined together to create an agricultural society which, in 1977, would evolve towards a company formed by the whole town, known today as La Candelaria winery and vineyards.

In the beginning, the wine was sold in bulk or in decanters, until 2003, when the first bottle became available to the market. Only four years later, they began to export the wines to different countries in America, Asia, and Europe.
