Description: Throughout its 100-year history, winemaking techniques have evolved because Bodegas Riojanas combine the local winemaking tradition with state-of-the-art winemaking techniques. The quintessential grape in Rioja is Tempranillo, Bodegas Riojanas controls more than 200 hectares from the best vineyards in Cenicero, San Vicente de la Sonsierra and nearby towns. The batches of grapes from old vineyards are collected in boxes, to prevent the pressure produced by the weight breaks the grapes, assuring us that grapes arrive in optimal conditions to the winery. Once there, they undergo a meticulous manual selection bunch by bunch, obtaining wines that are the maximum exponent of Bodegas Riojanas.
