Bodegas Franco-Españolas was born in 1890 as the union between France and Spain at a peak in Rioja, when the French came to the region trying to replace their vineyards devastated by phylloxera disease. It was the origin of the "fine Rioja wines".
All this led Frederick Anglade Saurat, a native of Bordeaux, to found Franco-Spanish wineries in 1890. The first harvest, a year later, results in the winery's icon wines: Diamante and Estilo Burgundy . This was renamed Rioja Bordón in the 50s, and in 2017 it was redesigned as Bordón.
Its privileged location, on the banks of the Ebro river, has made Bodegas Franco-Españolas witness to the history of Logroño. In the hands of the Eguizábal Family since 1984, it is currently immersed in new projects and is a benchmark among the offer of leisure and culture of La Rioja with its various wine tourism proposals.

Elaboration:
Extraction of the must and fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16º C to enhance the fruit aromas of the variety.
Vineyards: Bordón blanco is a dry white wine, made from Rioja's most classic native white grape variety, Viura. This variety is also known as Macabeo in other areas, mainly in Catalonia. They use grapes from vineyards in La Rioja Alta that result in this highly balanced wine with fruity notes.
