2012 Lanzaga (Telmo Rodriguez) Lanzaga

Lanzaga combines all the elements that characterize this winery: respect for the place, bush-trained vineyards, co-planting, organic viticulture, fermentation in cement, aging in foudres and barrels of different sizes and origins, always maintaining a very limited production and a human dimension. The combination of all these elements results in a serious, sophisticated wine with great aging capacity. Lanzaga is a Rioja wine that possesses a true sense of the place where it was made, a rich and complex expression of the village.

Made with native yeasts. Aged for 14 months in 1,500-2,500 liter foudres and 225-liter barrels. Located at an altitude of between 500 and 700 meters, we find two types of soils, both of continental origin from the Tertiary era. Some are developed on sandstone plateaus and are shallow, flat, stony, limestone, and silty in texture. The others are found on slopes over marl and are moderately deep, with gentle slopes, slightly stony, limestone, and with a fine loamy texture.
