A book dedicated to the people who were able to visualize this dream and to those who, through their hard work, have made it come true in these 25 years. Especially to those who are no longer with us but remain in our memory.

On June 30, 1997 and thanks to the vision, effort and commitment of many people, Grandes Vinos was founded, a groundbreaking partnership approach for its time. And 25 years later we can proudly say that thanks to the contribution and work of the winegrowing members of our five wine producers, our non-producing members, IAF, Ibercaja and Caja Rural de Aragón, and our staff, it has become a benchmark winery in the national and international wine industry.

A company recognized for our growth and profitability, for the quality of our wines, our innovative approach, competitiveness and service, and for the growing positioning of our commercial brands in the 40+ countries where we are found. From the beginning, internationalization, making consumers the center of our strategy, corporate social responsibility and care for the environment have been the pillars of our development.

In these 25 years we have experienced good and bad times, we reach this anniversary in a complex world scenario, but with the optimism and determination that comes from having a solid company with the greatest asset, the people who work there, who will be able to overcome the difficulties that may affect us today. I would like to thank these people who have been part of our history and those who are still part of our history for their contribution, allowing us to celebrate this anniversary today, especially remembering those who passed away before their time but still live on, not only in the history of Grandes Vinos, but also in our memory and hearts.

A special mention should also be made of all our customers, an essential distribution link to ensure that our wines reach the end consumers in perfect condition, those whom we want to surprise, delight and show the legacy of Cariñena built by our ancestors over the course of history. This commemorative book is about history, legacy, tradition, family and up to 25 words that also define us, which I hope you enjoy with a good glass of our wines.

Congratulations to the entire Grandes Vinos family for this 25th anniversary and let’s continue making history and building a better future for generations to come.

A display with the most representative bottles of our 25-year history.

On June 30th, at the Grandes Vinos winery, we gathered more than 600 people to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

The President of the Government of Aragon, Javier Lambán, headed the list of more than one hundred institutional, social and business representatives who attended the event, together with 500 cooperative members from Grandes Vinos, to celebrate the great balance of this quarter of a century and our future plans.

The President of the Government of Aragon has highlighted: “We must all look at Grandes Vinos as a paradigm of good work in the field of agri-food. It is for virtuously taking advantage of the cooperative formula, in the field of marketing, investment, research and promotion and use of cultural resources; The winery has made an exemplary management from any point of view”.

The current president of Grandes Vinos, Antonio Ubide, recalled the support of the Government of Aragon, through the Aragonese Development Institute, and highlighted that “25 years of struggle, but of success, have been celebrated, which have allowed maintaining and strengthening the productive structures ”. Regarding the next objectives, Ubide pointed out that the sales figures are expected to improve, because after suffering the impact of the pandemic “the pace is already recovering.”

The well-known journalist Matías Prats led the celebration ceremony, in which he stressed that “the two words that best define Grandes Vinos are wine and people”. The people who promoted this dream and those who have made it a reality, and especially those who are no longer with us, who were remembered in all the interventions.

At Grandes Vinos we have summarized the main milestones of our history, 25 bottles that tell our story. Matías Prats has presented these highlights, such as the launch of the different brands or the national and international sponsorship campaigns.

In his speech, Matías Prats pointed out: “There are millions of bottles with the seal of the Cariñena Denomination of Origin, which have been enjoyed in more than 40 countries during these 25 years.”

To revindicate the role of “the winegrowers, partners and workers who are part of our history, Grandes Vinos pays tribute to all of them represented by its five previous presidents: Santiago Begué, José Mª Cabello, José Gimeno, Santiago Campos and Antonio Gimeno. Each one of them and the daughter of the deceased José Gimeno were given a plaque of recognition by Antonio Ubide and Javier Lambán.

This silver anniversary was also summarized in the commemorative book “Grandes Vinos. 25 years”, which includes the concepts that define Grandes Vino with texts by the journalist and writer Antón Castro: Cariñena, History, Union, Dream, Family, Diversity, Selection, Terroir, Sustainability, Nature, Effort, Care, Essence, Authenticity, Passion, Time, Wine, Team, Technology, Innovation, Solidarity, Gastronomy, Celebration, People and Future.
