Vinification – How Badiola Rioja 2020 Is Made

Hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes were meticulously sorted to preserve diversity and nuanced ripeness. Fermentation and malolactic conversion were conducted with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats at carefully controlled temperatures. Tailored pump-overs and maceration schedules ensured optimal extraction without overpowering the wine’s elegance.

To retain freshness and purity, excessive oak and oxidative ageing were avoided. Instead:

42% matured in first and second-use 300L French oak barriques for eight months
The remainder aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks to enhance texture and complexity

Winery	The grapes come from carefully selected parcels around the charming village of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa. Laguardia is situated on average at 640 meters above sea level and is open to the Ebro Valley with exposed sites. The microclimate here results in earlier ripening than in other villages and produces approachable wines that are elegant, light, and perfumed. The bush vines are planted in limestone soils and are cultivated with respect for the environment, using minimal sprays of copper and sulfur only when required. The fruit is hand-harvested in 15-kilogram boxes to preserve the quality. Current Denominacion de Origen regulations in Rioja only permit the use of a village name on the label by the location of the winery (i.e. the building and not the vineyards); thus, the wine from the Laguardia vineyards is marketed as L4GD4.
