Bodegas Fariña was built in Toro, against a backdrop of old vineyards, with an exterior construction inspired by traditional architecture, which contrasts with the modernised interior of a winery that, in itself, represents the balance between tradition and modernity, values that we have maintained throughout our history.
The winery is comprised of several buildings, one of which hosts our Art and Wine Museum on its upper floor, which is in a continual process of improvement, comprised of our own collection of old winemaking machinery and the ‘El Primero’ Abstract Painting Exhibition, made up of the 40 finalist artworks from the latest edition of the National Painting Contest organised by the winery each year to choose the image for its Primero wine.
The lower floor of the building hosts the ageing cellar. Situated 5 metres below ground, with rigorous temperature and humidity control, over 1,800 barrels of French and American oak lend our crianza wines part of their distinctive personality. On the same floor are French oak vats with a capacity of 16,000 litres each, which help to achieve this goal. We use them for the malolactic fermentation of certain wines, and to complete the coupages of more limited productions.
Finally, we have the production and bottling halls, which contain modern technology, essential for achieving the winery’s quality criteria.
Our commitment to quality and improving our processes and facilities has manifested in the renewal our BRC and IFS certifications, something that has been possible thanks to the large team of professionals whose eagerness and commitment are one of Bodegas Fariña's greatest assets.
Knowing that the origin of all of this is the grapevine, and that this origin is what makes all the difference, here at Fariña, all year round, looking after the grapevines is a paramount objective, a daily task of particular significance.
We currently cultivate over 300 hectares of our own vineyards - some of which are over a hundred years old - in which we practice 21st century winegrowing.
The trellised vines planted by the winery follow the double guyot system, which allows them to control the number of bunches per vine and increase the surface area of leaves exposed to the sun, thereby improving the efficiency of the photosynthesis process. The system we have implemented also allows for limited growth of the grapes, which leads to their components being more concentrated and, ultimately, their quality too.
