The proximity to the salt lakes, combined with the traditional character of Rioja Alavesa and a climate with a marked Atlantic influence, give Parcela Nº5 very special nuances. This wine possesses an elegant saline sensation that is interesting to describe thanks to the vineyards located on limestone soils with a clay-loam texture and a notable saline influence. The vineyards of Parcela Nº5, over 45 years old, are located in the Laguardia Lagoons Natural Park at an altitude of 500 meters, in a European-protected mesosalinic biotope.
