Remirez de Ganuza, an oenological paradise in La Rioja

They are spread over six locations in the Sierra Cantabria: Samaniego, Leza, Elciego, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Laguardia and Ábalos, the Rioja Alavesa. In all of them, the habitat, the microclimate, the orientation of the plots, the low productivity of the vines and the age of the vineyard have been taken into account for their selection, the average age of the vines being fifty years old.

La Rioja Alavesa: the elite of the wines of La Rioja The Rioja Alavesa is included as a subzone in the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. It has 13,500 hectares of vineyards and several hundred wineries, which result in an annual average of around 40 million liters of wine
The area produces especially red wines with specific general characteristics, such as a bright and lively color, a fine aroma, a fruity flavor and a pleasant palate. These peculiarities are due to the clay-limestone soils of the area, which are excellent for the vines to absorb the necessary moisture. The climate and the location of the vineyards behind the Sierra de Toloño, which protects the vines from the cold north winds and allows the vines to take better advantage of the heat, also contribute to its quality
The red wines are the most representative wines of the region and are made from Tempranillo (around 79% of the total is produced from this grape), Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano varieties.

The young or red wines of the year are mostly made using the traditional carbonic maceration method, in which whole bunches are fermented in a 'lake' for between seven and ten days. Once free of skins and stems, they are transferred to the vats where they will finish fermentation
The crianza, reserva and gran reserva wines are made using the Bordeaux or destemming process. It consists of breaking the grapes by removing the stems and incubating the must with its pulp for seven days. After several fermentations, they are transferred to barrels for aging. It is the time spent in barrel and bottle that makes the difference between Crianzas, Reservas and Gran Reservas
Due to the fact that rosé and white wines are increasingly appreciated both inside and outside our borders, winemakers and oenologists are working on the production of quality wines from these varieties, in a bid to approach all markets
