Area classified as Vino de Pago owned by the Spanish winery Marqués de Griñón; see there.

The winery is located in the municipality of Malpica de Tajo, 50 kilometres from Toledo in the Spanish region of Castilla-La Mancha. The "Finca Casadevacas" estate has been owned by the family since 1292. The total estate covers 1,400 hectares. Carlos Falcó y Fernández de Córdova (1937-2020) is considered one of the most important Spanish winegrowing pioneers. He was the 5th Marqués de Griñón, the name of this Spanish aristocratic title referring to the town of Griñón in the province of Madrid. He studied at the French Lyceum in Madrid and later studied agricultural engineering at the University of Leuven (Brussels) and agricultural economics at the University of California in Davis. The Marqués was regarded as a living legend ever since wine critic Robert Parker gave his wines his highest rating in 1995. After his death, he was succeeded by his second daughter Tamara Falcó.
