"bodegas franco-españolas was born in 1890 as the union between france and spain at a strong moment in rioja, when the french came to the region trying to replace their vineyards razed by the phylloxera disease. this was the origin of the ""fine wines of rioja"". all this led frederick anglade saurat, a native of bordeaux, to found franco-spanish wineries in 1890. the first harvest, a year later, gave rise to the emblematic wines of the winery: diamond and burgundy style. the latter was renamed rioja bordón in the 1950s, and in 2017 it was redesigned as bordón. in 1920, fifteen years after anglade's death, the french sold their shares and the winery became entirely spanish. king alfonso xiii visited the winery in 1903 and in 1925. ernest hemingway did so in 1956. the end of prohibition in the united states in 1933 and the resurgence of the regulatory council in 1953 gave a boost to exports of rioja wines. franco-españolas was present in the major european cities, as well as in caracas, buenos aires, havana and new york. 1964 was an excellent harvest, perhaps the best of the century. very light, easy drink on a hot day. citrus and lemon aroma, crisp taste with light strawberries and lemon. lingering sweet finish."
