Gómez Cruzado is a boutique winery located in the well-known Barrio de la Estación, the railway station district in Haro (La Rioja), a unique place with a long history and a long tradition in winemaking, considered the birthplace of Rioja wine. A bodega with origins dating back to 1886, that still maintains its family-business style while staying faithful to its heritage of the fine wine style of Haro’s Barrio de la Estación. Although the annual production is small, the winery has already established a reputation for the quality of its wines.
