Notes on the Wine

The grapes come from 15-20 year old vines and the wine is aged 6-8 months in tank, concrete vats and foudre. Hand harvested, partial whole cluster, natural yeast fermentation in tank. This wine is bright, celicoius styel of Rioja with plenty of red fruit and warm spice notes.

Notes on the Producer

With about 25 hectares of rented and owned vineyards in Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja, Rioja Alavesa and in up and coming DO of Arlanza, and splitting his time between his own wines and consulting with other producers, it would be a gross understatement to say that Olivier Rivière is a very busy man. Originally lured to Spain in 2004 by Telmo Rodriguez to convert his vineyards to biodynamics, Olivier came to appreciate the rich history of Rioja, and the diversity of its soils and grape varieties. In 2006 he started his own project and owing to the high cost of land in Rioja he traded his farming talents for access to grapes from the best sites he could locate.
