Almost everything we are and strive to be, we also owe to our vineyards. Forever facing the south, its venerable old age, its clayey-calcareous soil strata in step formation climbing from the Ebro to the Cantabrian Mountain Range, that faithful natural defence of the special microclimate permeating throughout the region... That is why we pamper and protect this land like a small, rare treasure, admiring it day after day, carefully monitoring its development, selecting each cluster of grapes by hand...
At Bodegas Sonsierra we only grow the native and more characteristic varieties of Rioja, Tempranillo and Viura. From time immemorial, they have been the grapevines which best adapted to the climatic and soil conditions of Sonsierra, giving very aromatic wine, with optimal color, structure, and alcohol content. Because of the terrain conditions and the wine growing tradition of the area, the plantation system is mainly goblet-trained vines, the entire harvest is done by hand, the traditional style, and each cluster is selected and harvested at the right moment in which the grapes have reached optimum ripeness. We elaborate all of our wines only from the exquisite fruit of our vineyards. This is how we manage our wines to maintain their excellent temperament and quality year after year.
