The central region of Rioja (the villages of Alberite, Villamediana, Entrena, Clavijo,…) is characterized by soils that are very poor in nutrients. Together with the marked influence of the harsh Continental climate, and the vineyard’s south-facing orientation, it is an ideal terroir for ripeness and offering expressive fruit driven wines.

This is a bright pink rosé with purple hues offering intense aromas of red liquorice and raspberries, all of them wrapped in a floral core of roses and violets. Fresh and lively with a good balance and a refreshing fruity finish, it represents the perfect aperitif and a great match for all sort of smoked meats or salmon, rice dishes, barbecues and all sorts of tapas, of course!

The Bee-eater is an insectivorous bird that is commonly found in Rioja vineyards. Known as ‘El Guardián’, it safeguards the vineyards by eating the different insects that often threaten them, preventing the development of pests and other diseases. The presence of the Bee-eater limits the use of insecticides, a practice that favors a more sustainable viticulture with utmost respect for the environment.
