Alegre Valgañón
Since 2014, the husband-wife team of Oscar Alegre and Eva Valgañón have embraced this even more ancient tradition. By working strictly with tiny lots, they are turning out head-spinning reds and whites that capture the best of their beloved land’s 1,000+ year history. And, their wines informed by this ancestral wisdom, are offering something unique in today’s Rioja landscape.
Artuke
A new Rioja “First Growth” emerges in Rioja Alavesa, helping to restore a 200-year-old winemaking tradition.
Bilbaínas
Bodegas Bilbainas, though known today mainly by insiders, was historically one of Rioja’s greatest traditional houses, their sterling reputation built on the stunning richness and ageworthiness of their flagship wines Viña Pomal and Viña Zaco.
Contino
We can think of no better example of CUNE’s pioneering spirit than their creation, in 1973, of the great single-vineyard Rioja, Contino.
CUNE
While originally a negociant, the Real de Asúa brothers soon began acquiring vineyards, recognizing that controlling production from vine to bottle was the path to high quality. And they quickly demonstrated their success, winning numerous medals at the major European exhibitions taking place at that time.
López de Heredia
For over 135 years, López de Heredia has made some of Rioja’s finest and most distinctive wines from the Tondonia and Bosconia vineyards. Staunch traditionalists, they are today’s flag bearers for classic Rioja.
Marqués de Murrieta
For more than 150 years, Marqués de Murrieta has been a traditional Rioja giant. Murrieta’s founder, Don Luciano de Murrieta, essentially created Rioja as it is known today. Until he started his firm in 1852, Rioja was primitively made and short-lived.
Hermanos Peciña
Pedro Peciña is preserving Rioja’s great traditions through his championing of classic vineyards and extended wood aging. Along with a few other surviving traditionalists, he gives hope that this singular winemaking school will endure.
La Rioja Alta
La Rioja Alta is a traditional Rioja icon—for more than a century, one of the region’s greatest producers. And in recent decades, it has been one of the most ardent defenders of the methods responsible for one of the world’s most distinctive and long-lived styles of wine.
Bodegas Riojanas
One of the grand old names of Rioja, Riojanas has produced heroic wines since its founding in 1890. Until Felipe Nalda’s retirement in 2013, Riojanas’ winemaker had been with the bodega for 49 years (since the great 1964 vintage). Under Felipe’s guiding hand, it remained one of the few remaining houses committed to the traditional methods that gave us one of the world's most distinctive and long-lived styles of wine.
Telmo Rodríguez
Telmo has been the most prominent voice for having Rioja’s greatest terroirs recognized and for returning to small-scale, traditional winemaking to most clearly express their characters. And the wines he’s making from them are among the most acclaimed Spanish wines of our time.Spain
