BODEGAS ALTANZA

Bodegas Altanza

Bodegas Altanza, located in Fuenmayor (Rioja Alta), was born in October 1998 with a clear founding principle: to produce quality wines, with a more “lively” style than the classic Rioja of yesteryear, and to market them at a fair price. The long wine-making and oenological tradition of its region was a source of pride and should be respected in its essence.Consequently, the architecture of the winery is also conceived, like the project, following a balance between tradition and technology.

The tradition is not only reflected in the beauty of the central building and its gardens, but also in the choice of its varietal, Tempranillo, and in certain elements of the wine-making process, such as vertical hydraulic presses or 22,000-liter capacity vats. made with oak that comes from the centuries-old forests of “Allier”, in France. Furthermore, it should be noted that most of our 7,500 barrels are French oak.

The technology is mainly reflected in our stainless steel tanks of different sizes -which allows a more flexible customization of the wines-, equipped with hot and cold jackets for absolute control of the temperature during fermentations. We also have our own laboratory and a modern bottle rack, which is kept at a constant temperature.

Vineyard

Currently the farm has an area of ​​220 hectares. of vineyard and 60 of olive grove. It supplies most of the grapes we need; the rest are carefully selected.

Tempranillo and Sauvignon Blanc share the land together with a remarkable olive grove to form a space that seems created to please the senses.This is where our way of understanding wine beats; where you can understand the reason for our five reserves just by admiring the great diversity of grapes that arise from their clay and calcareous soils together with the different orientations and slopes of the land.

The wines

Winery specialized in the production of 100% Tempranillo reserves, later two crianza wines were incorporated, an aromatic white and a rosé. In Altanza you will always find expressive, elegant and friendly wines, with a good integration between the barrel and the fruit and with a marked personality.

The quality of its wines and oil would not be possible without a qualified staff behind it who ensures that everything goes well, from the cultivation or selection of the fruit to the final labeling of a bottle or personalized attention to the visitor.
