DOCa Rioja

The aroma of the terroir

SJ Anteportalatina is a wine made in limited quantities. The plot from which it comes was replanted in 1989 with selected Viuras from the family vineyards and has a high limestone content, a feature which will have great influence on the character of the wines which are made from its fruit. In SJ Anteportalatina the true nature of the landscape from which it springs is expressed to the full. 100 % Viura, it is a wine which transmits the terroir through its nose and captivates you with its freshness, balance and complexity on the palate.

Variety: Viura.

Vinification: After careful selection in the vineyard, the grapes are cold-macerated for several hours upon reception in the winery. Gentle pressing and the start of alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats. After three days the fermentation continues in 225 litre and 500-litre French oak barrels. Cask ageing takes place for 12 months in the same casks.

FINCA SAN JUAN DE ANTEPORTALATINA

A historic vineyard replanted in 1989, with a surface area of 3.5 hectares, located at an altitude of 600 m. Planted with the Tempranillo variety, the highest part (1.5 has) was replanted with Viura, the indigenous white wine grape from our region. The soil is clay-lime with a high calcium content. This small plot is where the Añadas Frías and SJ Anteportalatina come from, wines which share their source but never in the same vintage. It is the characteristics of the vineyard which define the character of the wine rather than the vintage and thus decide when SJ Anteportalatina will be launched onto the market.

LOCALITY: Laguardia, DOCa. Rioja.
