Bodegas de Valdepablo
From Roman times they have been growing grapes
in this area. In fact, the famous Roman poet,
Marco Marcial, who lived in this area for much
of his life (41 - 103) named this area "Augusta
Bilbilis" - "the little motherland". The cultivation
of the vines in the Denominacion de Origen Calatayud
(Denomination of Origin of Calatayud), located
in the western part of the province of Zaragoza,
is steeped in knowledge and tradition. The region
of Calatayud, formed by an ensemble of 46 communes,
occupy in excess of 7300 hectares which form the
base of viniculture in this area producing rich
and abundant crops. In 1980 the winemakers modernized
their wineries and became more exacting in their
winemaking procedures. A careful process based
on the most modern technology gave expression
to the excellent characteristics of the grapes
and their earthly birthplace. The vineyards of
(Bilbilis) Calatayud produce wines that are robust,
powerful, and of a noble quality, accepted by
the finest restaurants
Founded in 1928 in Calatayud (Saragossa), the
company began producing and distributing table
wines. The company moved to Terrer (7 Km from
Calatayud) in 1986. The new winery now occupies
a total surface of 25000 m2 and includes a new
bottling plant, situated next to the automatic
production line. The company has progressively
grown since it was founded, especially in the
last ten years. Ê
Jalon River, before ending at Ebro River, waters
the fields in a pure and generous way. Its pure
waters contain the spring thaw of the Iberic mountains
streams. It was 2000 years ago that Marco Valerio
Marcial, the famous Roman poet born in Calatayud,
sang of the excellent qualities of these lands
as the perfect soil for growing grapes, and producing
the finest wines. The special climate condition,
together with the quality of its water, makes
possible the fame and international renown beyond
the Spanish territories.
