AboutGómez Cruzado
Ángel Gómez de Arteche founded the bodega in Haro in 1886. Ángel and Jesús Gómez Cruzado bought the property in 1916 and gave the house the name it carries today. The Baños family, originally from Badarán and with ties to Mexico, became owners around 2000.
Vineyard work reaches almost one hundred supervised plots across Rioja Alta and Alavesa, including old bush-trained sites in Sierra Cantabria and Alto Najerilla. Soils range from limestone-rich clay beneath Sierra Cantabria to iron-rich clay in the high vineyards of Alto Najerilla. The Alto Najerilla vineyards include Grenache vines more than eighty years old.
Gómez Cruzado 2021 Cerro Las Cuevas Selección Terroir Rioja
Spanish Red
Ripe blackberry and dark plum lead, followed by warm spice, cool menthol and a distinct mineral note. The palate is full-flavoured and supple, with generous black fruit carried by fresh acidity and finely controlled extraction. A savoury earthiness adds depth through the middle without obscuring the fruit. The finish is long and composed, balancing voluptuous texture with lift, spice and the firm clarity of old-vine Rioja.
Gómez Cruzado 2017 Montes Obarenes Selección Terroir Rioja Blanco
Spanish White
White peach and ripe orchard fruit open with creamy, honeyed aromas and a measured layer of buttery spice. Fine oak adds breadth while a clear mineral note keeps the profile composed. The palate is generous at first, then brightens through focused citrus acidity and a gently savoury, structured edge. Subtle bitterness brings definition to the long finish, balancing richness with freshness and an elegant, lightly austere line.
Gomez Cruzado 2022 Rioja Blanco
Spanish White
A fresh Rioja Blanco with citrus blossom, green apple and pear, lifted by fennel, white flowers and restrained stone fruit. The palate is clean and vibrant, with bright acidity and a fine mineral edge carrying the fruit. Crisp and dry on the finish, it is a versatile choice for grilled fish, shellfish, salads or lightly dressed vegetable dishes.
