General Information

Burgo Viejo Garnacha Organic 2023 is a single-varietal wine made from organic grapes. They were destemmed, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in concrete vats. The result is a red with intense aromas of strawberry caramel and plums over a toasty background that gives it complexity. Fresh and long on the palate with smooth tannins.

Burgo Viejo started out in 1987 when five grape-growing families of Alfaro teamed up with the aim of highlighting the distinctive character of their grapes through selective and controlled wine production. For this purpose, the winery uses its owners’ vineyards, which span more than 200 hectares, and only purchases very select batches from a few local grape growers. These ingredients go into making wines that reflect the identity of the terroir of Alfaro.

This is a curious and innovative firm. Its broad product range includes experimental wines produced in small quantities and single-varietals and it uses 500-litre barrels, amphoras, etc. It is also committed to organic production and is preparing to launch in the near future its ‘single-vineyard’ wines, the top category of the D.O.Ca. Rioja.

Burgo Viejo Garnacha Organic 2023 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is ideal with magret of duck with red fruit sauce or chicken cooked in a sauce.

The winery

Winery

Burgo Viejo

Burgo Viejo was founded in 1987 through the union of five families of winegrowers from Alfaro, who came together to highlight the distinctive character of their grapes through selective and controlled vinification. To achieve this, the winery uses only the vineyards owned by the families, covering more than 200 hectares, and purchases only highly selected batches from a few local winegrowers. With this raw material, it produces wines that reflect the unique character of the Alfaro ‘terroir’.

A curious and innovative brand. Its wide range of wines includes experimental productions of small batches, single-varietal wines, aging in 500-liter barrels, amphorae, etc. It also focuses on organic production and is preparing for the imminent launch of its ‘viñedos singulares’ wines, included in this top category of the D.O.Ca. Rioja.
