The bodega belongs to the Llorens family who also own thirty hectares
of vineyards in the villages of Labraza, Viana and Bargota. These vineyards
contain a high percentage of old vines native to the area. Limited production
ensures grapes with high tartaric acid content, great colour intensity
and potent yet fruity tannins. To sum up: these grapes are perfectly
suited to the production of fine wines that age extremely well.
The current bodega was built in the
early nineties when the family decided to make a major investment to
adapt their older wine-making and ageing systems. This has allowed them
to obtain a high quality wine which faithfully retains the purity of
the grape.
How to get there
The bodega is to be found in a small village called Bargota, about 18
kilometres from Logroño. and lies in a rolling landscape at over
600 metres above sea level on the slopes of Mount Yoar. It is one of
the last villages belonging to the Sierra de Cantabria that runs through
the three provinces that make up this wine-making region, thus forming
a natural frontier to the north of La Rioja.
