Winery	The Tempranillo grapes come from the La Cuesta vineyard in Cenicero and the Montecillo vineyard in Fuenmayor. Both sites are over 30 years old, and their soils are predominantly clay-limestone. The Garnacha grapes come from ‘La Pedriza’, a 70-hectare vineyard with deep rocky soils at 500 metres’ elevation in Tudelilla in Rioja Oriental. This vineyard site offers outstanding conditions for growing Garnacha. La Rioja Alta is committed to respecting and protecting the environment. In the vineyard, treatments are limited, investments have been made into clean energy sources, and water is reused. Insect shelters have been installed in vineyards, promoting environmentally friendly plant health defence while increasing the biodiversity in the vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness.
