Map of Spain showing where the Redwine arms are recorded
The Redwine arms were recorded in Aragon, c. 1722.
Aragon was mountain and river country in north-eastern Spain, with a strong tradition of small independent landholders. A great many families counted as gentry there, and each one needed a shield to be told apart.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

Origin & History of the Redwine Family in Spain
The history of the Redwine name is deeply rooted in the cultural landscape of the Aragon region of Spain during the early 18th century. By 1722, records indicate that the family was well-established within this territory, which was known for its complex social structure and agricultural traditions. The name itself likely evolved as a descriptive identifier, possibly linked to the viticulture and wine production that defined the local economy of the Ebro River valley. As families in this era often took surnames based on their trade or local environment, the name suggests a long-standing connection to the land and the labor of the vineyards. Over time, as members of the family migrated, the name underwent linguistic shifts, eventually transitioning into the form recognized today while maintaining its historical ties to the heritage of northern Spain.
