Fresh notes of red plums and mulberries, accented by violet and lilac florals, define the aroma of this wine. On the palate, it is rich, fleshy, and silky, with vibrant orange-infused acidity that keeps it lively. The finish is balanced and polished, resulting from 18 months of aging in 500L barrels. Sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1930, the vines thrive in mixed clay and sand soils between the Ebro River and the oak forest.
Nestled in the enchanting village of Laserna-Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa, lies the Villota estate, a family legacy since 1930. Now lovingly tended by Carmen Pérez-Garrigues and her father Ricardo Pérez-Villota, this vineyard, rooted in history, broke free in 2013 to pursue the art of crafting premium wines. Rioja Alavesa, kissed by the cooling breezes of the Atlantic and cradled by the majestic Cantabrian mountains, mirrors the finest qualities of Rioja Alta. Here, on soils of calcareous and ferrous clay, their vines flourish, dry-farmed and bush-trained, nurtured with a passion for purity, untouched by chemicals, embodying the soul of tradition and excellence.
