Alenza is a very special wine, as it owes its name to the sum of the names of the Fernández Rivera couple: Alejandro and Esperanza. It is made in a traditional way, fermenting the must with the stem, without prior destemming. From Viña Valera, it is a unique Gran Reserva. It is only made in extraordinary vintages.
