The treasure of our winery: the Old Garnacha and Tempranillo Vines that allow us to produce our premium wines such as our Terrai, Clave de Sol, Reserva and Gran Reserva ranges. With the village of Longares and its characteristic tower in the background.
A gift from Mother Nature, these grapes are carefully harvested by hand. The Longares terroir is home to sediment characteristic of an ancient river stream at the bottom of a valley, with its plots of rounded stones. These soils enable the vineyard to survive through extreme conditions.
The harvested grapes are transported quickly to the winery to avoid any unexpected fermentation during transport. Once at the winery, they are immediately analysed before setting the maceration process in motion.
Our facilities combine modernity and tradition; each fermentation tank has a computer-controlled system to maintain the ideal temperature for long macerations and fermentations, which brings out the very best in terms of aromas, colour and flavour.
And the "jewel in the crown”: our ageing room, with French Oak barrels for our most modern wines, and American Oak for the more traditional line. The barrels typically hold 225 litres, are regularly renewed, and are used for the final wine maturation process. Much like a diamond, they will be polished to perfection - albeit while remaining in their bottles!

Bodegas Care lies in the heart of the Cariñena Protected Designation of Origin. It is one of the oldest PDO in Spain, dating back to 1932 and the creation of the Cariñena Oenological Station. The area where we are located speaks of a lifestyle combining tradition and modernity for which Bodegas Care aims to be a standard bearer, respecting both roots and personality.
Care, the name used by the Romans to refer to Cariñena, evolved into Caraellana, "The Beloved Plain". It refers to the origin, attachment to the land and love for all that is native. In English, it speaks to care, respect and pampering. The winery and the production of our wines was conceived as an integral and innovative project in which each and every part is meticulously cross-referenced.
Our vineyards have been a part of the landscape, of nature, for centuries. The use of traditional environmentally-friendly agricultural practices, together with no use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides, is mandatory to support both cultural tradition and sustainable cultivation. The perfect circle of this terroir is completed by the generosity of the vineyard, the passion of man and a meticulous viticulture.
We have an ageing room with automatic temperature and humidity controls to ensure aged wines are matured perfectly. We seek optimum maturity through ageing for each wine, retaining its true expression. This means each wine will have the time in barrel and in bottle that it requires. Each wine follows its own path towards maturity and the winemaker closely monitors each step to ensure an unhurried process.
We offer guided tours, areas to stop and admire the views, and a restaurant. All this to better understand our philosophy and work. Our business project responds to the criterion of fusing the tradition of one of the most deeply rooted oenological regions of Spain and respect for the vine and orientation towards new lifestyles.
