Tempranillo

52-60 2023 is the third vintage of this distinctive blend of red and white grapes by Abel Mendoza. The wine comes from small, contiguous plots in Mondiarte, in Labastida. The vines are around 60 years old and are planted on red sandstone soils. The vineyards are farmed organically. The blend is made from Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha, complemented by white grapes such as Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía Riojana and Viura. Only 1,407 bottles were produced.

This cuvée only uses the best grapes from the oldest vines. Its precise origin can thus vary from one year to another according to the ripeness and quality of the grapes.

This micro-vinification wine is made with hand selected grapes (berry by berry) from the best and oldest vines. The production is only one to two barrels per year. There are only 60 bottles available for the Belgian market!

Something very special ! This wine comes from a small vineyard in Sajazarra, of which 2/3 is over 100 years old and 1/3 is Tempranillo of 40 years old. The final field blend ensures we get a light very floral wine with lots of character.

One of their grand crus, from a vineyard in Fonzaleche, planted by Eva and her father in 1992. La Calleja is a classic in the making. Pure Tempranillo expression from authentic winemakers.

This blend of Tempranillo and Grenache is the estate's flagship wine. The Tempranillo comes from their usual vines between Sajazarra and Fonzaleche. The Grenache comes from old vineyards in the Rioja Baja, in Cardenas.

This "Friends' wine" is the flagship of this family bodega, located in Corral de Almaguer. It coiuld be sold under the La Mancha denomination, but owner Juan de la Barreda prefers to use the Tierra de Castilla label. The wine is a blend of old Tempranillo grapes (here they call it Cencibel), from three different terroirs: La Desehilla, Monte Alto and El Convento, with some shiraz and cabernet from younger vines.

This wine is a blend of bush vine Grenache, planted in the 60's and 70's, and other varieties planted in the 80's, in double Guyot. As the vineyard is facing South-West, the grapes get a maximum of sunshine and an optimal ripeness every year. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 28°C during 25 days. Then the wine is put into Allier oak barrels, partly new, partly 2nd year. A small quantity of the Grenache goes into American oak.

This wine is in a league of its own. It comes from the best vines, and only the grapes where polymerization has started are selected. Tempranillo has a lot of different clones and Roda only wants to use the best. Cirsión means thistle in latin and there is one on the label.

The most anticipated wine of the year in Spain! The new star from José Manuel Pérez Ovejas, named oenologist of the year in 2017 and "best winemaker in Spain" in 2018.

Tempranillo grapes from Roa, specifically from the north-facing La Loma vineyard, located at 845 meters above sea level. Doble M stands for Manuela and Mauro Special Selection.

The house's "Grand Cru". This cuvée comes from a 0.95 ha parcel located 540 metres above sea level in Abalos, in the Rioja Alta. Only 1,180 bottles of this very Burgundian Rioja are made.

Cascorrales is one of the oldest vineyards in Ribera del Duero, planted in 1895. It is also one of Hacienda Solano’s Grand Crus, together with Peña Lobera. Cascorrales shows a slightly firmer and more rustic profile compared to the elegant Peña Lobera. The very top of the appellation.

This cuvée is a tribute to the two brothers' paternal grandfather who bought the Peñaescalera vine in Baños de Ebro. A vine with a veru low yield, located at the high end of the village, so for a while no one harvested it anymore. And as the soil was very stony, no one would have been "loco" (crazy) enough to buy it in the 50's. But the loco grandfather did it, and its 2.8 hectares now called Finca de los Locos, produced a magnificent wine. And we are all crazy about it!

Here is an entry level Reserva with a great personality. It comes from other vineyards than the Remirez Reserva.

This is the entry-level wine of the estate. The grapes come from 30+ year-old vines, framed organically, and located in La Aguilera, one of Ribera's most famous villages. A nice and elegant Ribera del Duero.

The carbonic maceration method is traditionally used in Rioja. However, these Riojas are hardly comparable to Beaujolais wines, which are lighter and fruitier than Riojas made from Tempranillo grapes.

A Crianza-level wine, but the bodega cannot use this term (nor Reserva) because its production is too limited.

2021 was the first vintage of this wine made by one of Rueda's top estates. This Victoria cuvée is Ignacio's and Martina's tribute to their mother Victoria Pariente, who founded this bodega. This wine is made with organic grapes of two red varietals (tempranillo and grenache) and one white varietal, viognier, which is more surprising for a rosé.
