Description
The unique geography of Rioja Alavesa, protected by mountains, elevated altitude, and the meeting of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, creates wines of remarkable distinction. In Samaniego, the Sáenz de Samaniego family has maintained a winemaking tradition since the 16th century. Their deep connection to the land reflects through generations of respectful, honest viticulture. Their 36 hectares of ENEEK-certified ecological vineyards span 50 microplots, primarily around Samaniego on calcareous clay soils. These terroir-driven wines express their unique origin with authenticity and character, offering both immediate pleasure and rewards for long-term storage.
