Franco-Españolas Winery was founded in 1890 thanks to the peak that Rioja lived in the XIX century, when the French settled in the region to replace their dying vineyards by the attack of the phylloxera plague vineyards with Rioja wines. It was the beginning of the “fine Rioja wines.” All this led to Frederick Saurat Anglade Bordeaux, along with their Spanish partners, to found “Franco-Españolas Winery ” in 1890, a merger between France (Franco) and Spain (Españolas).
