Santa Catalina Winery is a clear example of the great viticultural and winery tradition of Spain.

The lands enjoy an extreme continental climate, with large thermal oscillations and variable rainfall that makes the optimal cultivation of the vine.  La Solana territory is made up of a diverse variety of terrains, from big prairies and hills with small brooks. It is a landscape with an extensive range of colors, which lend to the wide variety of aromas and tastes that their fruits have.  From these fruits are produced wines of an excellent quality and backed by the seal and guarantee of the Denomination of Origin La Mancha, the largest wine-growing region in terms of cultivation area.

LOS GALANES is the flagship brand, under which the best wines are bottled. This brand refers to the way that friends are called in La Mancha. It denotes trust and friendship. A GALÁN is an elegant and close person, sure of himself. Someone to enjoy life with. LOS GALANES wines represent this type of friend, the one you value so much


A CAMPECHANO is the person who is relaxed, cordial and simple, and does not like formalities and ceremonies. Likewise, the CAMPECHANO brand is elegant, but humble.  Resulting from meticulous preparation from the vineyard to the glass, this elegant wine tastes simple, natural and easy to enjoy. It is as though the grapes have been squeezed with your own bare hands.
