PRODUCER:
“Vendimia Seleccionada” means that there is a selection made in the plot to pick up the best for this wine. Not all grapes are suitable for Almaraz, so that is why we made a selection starting for the grapes on the field. We could translate this as “selection of grapes made during harvest”. This wine has from 5 to 6 months in oak.
Bodegas del Medievo looks back in the local winemaking tradition as the name says itself in the heart of Rioja area.
Almaraz Selección de Vendimias is sourced from 40 year old vines. These vineyards are located on the slopes of the mountains of Alfaro, between 430 and 580 meters of altitude. Due to their unique situation, the climate is Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental. Our peculiar farming system has allowed us to develop a control system that allows us to elaborate high quality wines and discover the potential of each of our vineyards.
