The Story

El Bozeto, as its name indicates, is our first wine project in which we present the main lines of our range: a young, fresh, newborn wine, whose explosion of fruity aromas with mineral touches will allow the consumer to enjoy the fusion of the 3 dominant grape varieties of La Rioja. A wine of pleasure, easy to understand that will allow the first step in our range of products. They cultivate around 22 hectares (54 acres) of vineyards. These are spread across more than 30 different plots. Here the climate conditions are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The vast majority of the vines are over 60 years old and grow in a mix of limestone, clay soils, sand and river rocks. They use horse-drawn ploughs to turn the soil and apply biodynamic farming concepts to express the character of each plot to the full. Vineyard treatments are carried out by hand.
