Winemaking: The grapes were picked by hand into small crates, with selection in the vineyard, and went through natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. From February 2023 the wine spent 16 months in barrel, 60% new American oak made in-house and 40% second-fill French oak, with three rackings by candlelight. It was bottled in June 2025.
Vineyards and terroir: The fruit comes from the Vallecilla, Camino de Laguardia, San Martín I and San Martín II plots at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, at about 600 metres, on well-drained, limestone-rich soils.
Family and history: Torre de Oña is the Rioja Alavesa estate of La Rioja Alta, S.A., based at Finca San Martín in Páganos, Laguardia. Its wines are made by Julio Sáenz.
