Carodorum
Toro
The Diez-Rodriguez family has been growing grapes in Toro for generations. In 2004 Bodegas Carodorum was founded from the family’s vineyards and passion for wine in the prestigious “Pago" La Cascajera, in the heart of the Toro region. Brothers Guillermo and Luis Angel run the vineyards and winemaking, with small scale production advantages and modern technology with the Tempranillo clone, Tinta de Toro. Guillermo is the winemaker at Carodorum.
​
The vines of Carodorum were inherited from Guillermo and Luis Angel's mother, Carmen. Along with the vines, they were taught by their mother the tradition of Toro wines, and the tradition of their family plots.​​
​
Carodorum is an artisanal winery located five miles outside of the town of Toro, Spain. The centuries old vineyards, unmoved by time, have been silent witnesses to the rich history kept by the faithful and noble Toro, city of kings and royalty.
​
The artisanal craft and the limited production allow the brothers to devote all their energy and attention to achieving the final product’s unsurpassable quality. They have found a way to preserve the art and tradition of winemaking (the use of clay jars, wood vats and oak barrels) while incorporating 21st Century equipment (stainless steel tanks, and the leading grape processing technology) to produce wines that are rarely seen in Spain, and largely only imported, and truly memorable.
