We produce the Ariyanas wines. Like our winery name Bentomiz, which comes from the ancient castle on the mountain top opposite, Ariyanas is a place name. It was the name of a Moorish hamlet that was next to our vineyard before the Reconquest. The word comes from the Arabic for “aromatic”, which is appropriate since our wines are aromatic.
We have recently expanded the range with two interesting new wines, PiXel and Rayya (see below). In collaboration with Lobban Wines of Barcelona we also produce two quality sparkling wines: definitely something to celebrate!
