| Winery | The fruit for Hugonell Reserva comes from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta. The average age of the vines is approximately 25 years, and the soil patterns in the vineyards are a combination of the well-known limestone/clay/alluvial mixture found in most of Central Rioja. Rioja has many different styles, from the traditional strawberry, oaky Bordeaux-influenced wines to some of the more modern, lighter styles. We searched for the best of both worlds – a fruit-driven modern style of wine at Joven level and more concentrated, typical flavours in the Crianza and Reserva levels. Carefully selected growers from this area produce the Hugonell Joven. The Ondarre winery, located 10km from Rioja’s capital of Logrono, is the specialist division of The Bodegas Olarra Group for producing Crianza and Reserva wines. We are delighted to offer this unique trio of wines with their original, distinctive packaging. |
