About the Producer: 

"One of the Rioja stalwart estates.  The origins of this winery date back to 1896, when Federico Paternina bought three bodegas in Ollauri, in the Rioja Alta area. He subsequently acquired a cooperative in Haro, considerably expanding his production capability. After Paternina’s death, however, the company ran into increasing financial difficulties, until the Spanish government took it over in the early 1880s, and in 1985 the company sold at auction for one peseta! By the mid-1990s the new owners, Marcos Eguizabal Ramirez and his son Carlos, had restored the winery’s reputation, taking Paternina public in 1998. With a new winery in Haro, the winery now has 250 acres of vineyards and also purchases grapes from trusted growers and coops."
