“Cosecheros y Criadores” Growers and Agers” is a historic term that made the difference between the wine growers, wine producers for a quick consumption and commerce of wine in bulk (Cosecheros = wine growers), and the wineries that, with the development of the “Modern Rioja” in the second half of the XIX century adopted the Bordeaux method of ageing and keeping the wines (Criadores = “agers”, “keepers”).
