A fresh, modern take on Rioja from one of the region's rising stars. Sandra Bravo was born in Haro and trained internationally before launching her project in Rioja Alavesa in 2012. Tim Atkin named her 2019 Young Winemaker of the Year. She works with old goblet-trained vines at up to 700 meters—among Rioja's highest altitudes. Cold soak, gentle pigeage, six months in neutral French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is Rioja that emphasizes terroir over oak: fresh, precise, with natural acidity from the high-altitude vineyards.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

The mountains of Sierra de Toloño, with their clay and limestone rocky-soils, are perfect conditions to grow Tempranillo. This is Sandra Bravo's "soldier", the wine that points the way to some of the most elegant expressions of Rioja Alavessa we've encountered. Harvested by hand, mid-October, the wine ferments spontaneously and then ages for 8 months in neutral barrels, and a little bit in amphorae. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined. Spicy, textured, and mineral.
