Producer: Viñedos de Aldeanueva, Aldeanueva de Ebro, Rioja
Viñedos de Aldeanueva was founded in November 1956, when a small group of winegrowers from Aldeanueva de Ebro joined forces. The producer is closely connected to Rioja and cultivates vineyards that stretch from the riverbank areas of the Ebro to the slopes of Monte Yegra.
The region’s climate, rich gravel and clay soils, and the experience of the winegrowers form the basis for grapes valued for their colour and sugar content. The Raiza Crianza Rioja DOCa expresses this origin in a fruit-driven, structured style with dark fruit, spicy notes and a harmonious finish.
