Vinos Alvia: Marqués de Alvia Garnacha

Marqués de Alvia Garnacha

VINEYARDS

1.5 Hectares of extreme viticulture in irregular and ancestral formation. Old vineyard, (93 years old), worked by hand without using mechanical means. A fresh, Atlantic environment, benefited by the refreshing factor of the altitude of the Najerilla valley, Rioja Alta.

The fruits become a smooth flow full of vitality, an elixir of life, an intimate pleasure of nature since cold winters, mild summers and long and mild autumns cause a great thermal variation between day and night that affects a slow ripening of the fruits.

SOILS

Calcareous conglomerate soils and stone slabs.

HARVEST

Manual in 15 kg boxes. Best clusters selected on the

sorting table.

ELABORATION

Fermentation always occurs naturally and spontaneously. The grapes always ferment in 500-liter oak barrels with an open lid, without temperature control with indigenous yeasts. The maceration is variable but can last up to two or three weeks. Aging for more than 24 months in new French and Hungarian oak barrels. After aging, a slight clarifica-tion is carried out.
