SUCCESS STORIES | La Granja 360 LA GRANJA 360. The latest revolution in a range of wines is called LA GRANJA 360. The first wine was introduced in 2008 for young people interested in the latest trends. Its design, its quality and the support of the media satisfy the ideal environment for the most avant garde life styles. It is related to an innovative spirit and being prescribed in the social media, it is all reflected in the completely different design. www.lagranja360.com
“A very pleasing everyday wine.” CHEAPWINEFINDER.COM “A definite bargain that I'll be buying again soon.” TRADER JOE'S WINE COMPENDIUM ““LaGranja 360 Tempranillo-Garnacha is the kind of wine that keeps you reaching for another sip, you might not have started out all that thirsty, but the LaGranja 360 keeps you coming back for more.” WINE TALK “These three unoaked offerings from La Granja in the DO of Cariñena deliver surprising value.” ROBERT PARKER’S - THE WINE ADVOCATE
