Our Wines
Aris: Serene Strength
Aris, or Sira, depending on how you read it. Our old-vine Garnacha wine, grown in the clay-rich soils of Villarroya de la Sierra.
It began as a playful idea that would accompany us on our journey. It was a joy to dream it up together, make it, design its label, and finally taste it… Just like her, this wine is intuition, emotion, and character.
Aris embodies the balance that keeps us grounded, the spontaneity that makes life worth living, and the serenity that gives meaning to our family’s journey. A wine of delicacy, but also of complexity and authenticity.
But Aris cannot be understood on its own. Its story would be incomplete without its twin: Socram.
Socram: Joy That Knows No Bounds
Socram —Marcos spelled backwards— is a white wine that simply cannot stand still. Where Aris is calm, Socram is energy, humour, and a sensitivity that melts your heart.
Made primarily from Macabeo grapes, it is an expressive and surprising wine. It has the freshness of someone running through the vineyards before dawn, the spontaneity of someone who laughs the loudest, and the honesty of someone who is unapologetically themselves.
Socram captures Marcos’s energy, that unique blend of a big heart, endless curiosity, and a playful spirit. A wine that inspires a zest for life.
And, just like his twin Aris, Socram cannot be fully understood without him. They are opposites that seek each other out, complement one another, and give meaning to each other’s existence.
Two inseparable wines that, together, tell our story: that of a family who finds in the vineyard a place where the land and the soul embrace.
SINGLE-VINEYARD WINE
Lajas: Where the Adventure Began
El Peñiscal was our first vineyard, the place where it all began. A pure, untamed landscape nestled in a cradle of slate that captivated us.
From this land came Lajas, our very first wine, and with it, the certainty that we were creating something far greater than we had ever imagined.
Today, when we open bottles from your earliest vintages during our vertical tastings, we look back and feel the excitement of seeing how you have evolved. It fills us with joy and inspires us to dream of the harvests still to come.
With every glass, Lajas reminds us of where we come from, and we love it!
Castro Laborda, Land and Soul in Every Bottle of Wine
Lajas, Aris, and Socram are more than just wines: they are different chapters of the same story.
Each carries the imprint of the land where it was born and the heartbeat of the people who made it possible: Lolo, Meri, Marcos, and Sira.
These wines remind us that the land holds memories and that the soul, when poured into something wholeheartedly, leaves a lasting mark.
Because at Viñedos Castro Laborda, wine isn’t simply made: it’s lived.
