The grapes come from carefully selected hillside parcels situated at around 500 meters elevation surrounding the village of Villabuena. The area is protected by the Sierra Cantabria and the mesoclimate imparts the wines with an excellent balance between freshness, elegance, and good fruit concentration. The bush vines are planted in limestone soils and are cultivated with respect for the environment, using minimal sprays of copper and sulfur when required. The fruit is hand-harvested in 15-kilogram boxes to preserve the quality.
Badiola, founded in 2018, is a winery based in the heart of Rioja Alavesa which offers a new perspective on Rioja wines: here the emphasis is on-site, rather than aging. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, predominantly surrounding the villages of Villabuena, Leza, Laguardia, and Banos del Ebro, with each terroir producing wines with a distinctive character. The vines are extremely old and low-yielding; many were planted in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s and they deliver concentrated juice with a clear identity. Vines are planted on hillsides in soils with a high percentage of limestone, a characteristic that sets Alavesa apart from the rest of Rioja, together with high altitude and vineyard age. The winemaking philosophy is to obtain very pure, fresh, and well-textured wines that reflect their origin.
