LAN
Rioja in three letters
Founded in 1972, LAN link with the land begins with its name. Three letters, LAN, formed by the initials of the three provinces that make up the D. O. Ca. Rioja: Logroño (now La Rioja), Álava and Navarra. From the very start, LAN adopted the basic principle that winemaking starts with vine growing. A breakthrough concept at the time, that translates into a firm commitment to the vineyard.
Our Winemaker
To create the best wines, we combine science with technology and winemakers who put all their knowledge into each brand, with dedication and passion.
María Barúa
Her first step in the world of wines was studying chemistry and oenology. She has held the position of winemaker at Bodegas LAN since 2002. Since María believes everything begins with winegrowing, her work starts with the vines, which she monitors meticulously throughout the year. She places great importance in the choice of the oak, demanding that it respect and enhance the wine’s innate qualities. As a technical manager since 2007, she is in charge of creating some of LAN's most emblematic wines such as D-12 and, more recently, LAN Xtrème Organic and more recently, LAN 7 metros.
