Vinification Alegre Valgañón
Oscar and Eva farm their estate vines in the regenerative way, which goes even further than organic or biodynamic farming.
Of course, they do not use any phytosanitary product and strive to maintain the natural balance in their vineyard, in harmony with their environment.
They don't use the Bordeaux barrels in common use in Rioja, but prefer the cement tanks and big vats like in the 19th century.
They rarely de-stem their grapes.
All of their wines, including their whites and claretes, are meant for a long keep; so, they often are aged for quite a long time.
These wines need time.
