The wine region of Rioja Alavesa
Northwest sub-region of DOCa Rioja in the Basque Country (Álava), on altitude slopes sheltered to the north by the Sierra de Cantabria. Tempranillo signature red king: fine and fresh with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum, sweet vanilla (American oak aging), tobacco and spice hint, fine tannins and elegant palate — airy style, among the finest of Rioja. Clay-limestone soils. Traditional carbonic maceration for young wines (cosechero), gourmand.
The wine region of Rioja
Star of great Spanish reds: signature Tempranillo, elegant and complex, with notes of ripe cherry, plum, leather, vanilla and tobacco from American oak ageing. Classification by age: fruity Joven, balanced Crianza, ample Reserva, deep, silky Gran Reserva (5 years, 2 in barrel). Some fresh Viura whites and generous rosés. Spain's first DOCa (1991), 3 sub-zones (Alta, Alavesa, Oriental), 93.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
