Summary

Style & Vinification Techniques
For the estate’s flagship wines, grapes are hand-harvested into small bins in order to prevent premature crushign of the grapes. Grapes are sorted by hand before undergoing extended maceration, then are fermented and aged in American oak casks. Bodegas Riojanas primarily grows Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo, and Viura.
