LZ 2024 is a tribute to the winegrowers of the village of Lanciego de Álava in the 1920s, a wine created with the desire to keep alive in the memory the taste of that time. It has been fermented in cement tanks using previously selected grapes from organic vineyards planted at 700 metres above sea level. These vines give the wine a unique character, complemented by freshness, youthfulness and plenty of fruit.

The winery
The winery of the Compañía de Telmo Rodríguez is located on a beautiful estate in Rioja Alavesa called Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri, in the municipal district of Labastida. An estate with a rich history. It has evolved from being part of a medieval settlement in the 10th century to a farm run by Hieronymite monks in the 14th century. However, it was in 1968 when a couple, Jaime Rodríguez and Amaya Hernandorena, acquired the estate. During this period, they opted for a more modern and fruit-forward style of wine, quite different from the classic Rioja of the time.
Today, the estate is managed by the second generation, led by the couple's son, Telmo Rodríguez, who, far from settling into the family winery, decided to study and train in Bordeaux and establish his own brand. With it, he produces wines from indigenous varieties in various unique regions of Spain's geography: Rioja, Rueda, Cigales, Toro, Ribera del Duero, Alicante… to name a few. Another of the proposals of the Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez is to focus particularly on the recovery of forgotten vineyards.
Telmo Rodríguez, together with his friend and partner, Pablo Eguzquiza, has been working the vineyard since 1992. During this time, they have produced special terroir-driven wines that manage to express a modern and natural character from historical vineyards. One of Telmo Rodríguez's guiding principles is to preserve and care for the taste of the region because, according to the winemaker, it had been lost over the past decades: “poor viticulture loses the taste of the place.”
