Summary
Although it is one of the youngest estates in the Rioja region, Hermanos de Peciña is committed to traditional techniques. Pedro Peciña established the winery in 1992 after working for over 20 years at La Rioja Alta as the head agronomist. Peciña’s vineyards are located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria mountain range, on the border of the Alavesa subregion. His vines average between 40 and 60 years of age and have northern exposure.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Hermanos de Peciña practices organic and biodynamic viticulture, and all pruning and harvesting is done by hand. The fruit is destemmed and undergoes fermentation with natural yeasts. The estate uses only traditional Rioja grapes including Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, and Viura. Wines are aged in used American oak casks.
