Bodega Paniza was founded in 1953, one of 31 wineries in Cariñena – a region that was a pioneer of the Denomination of Origin categorisation. Cariñena is the oldest of these DOs in Aragón and the second oldest in Spain.

It is the only co-operative in the town of Paniza, regarded as the top area within the region of Cariñena.

Paniza’s vineyards have parcels of 30 year old vines on calcareous clay soil and a small proportion over 40 years old on alluvial pebble, reserved for the top wines. The highest vineyards go up to an altitude of 850m and benefit from a continental climate: cold winters and hot summers with contrasting cool evenings.

Grapes sourced from elsewhere are paid solely on quality, not quantity!
