General Information
Marqués del Atrio Reserva 2020 (Excellent vintage) is the result of a careful selection of tempranillo and graciano grapes, cultivated in the lands of Mendavia, in the heart of Rioja Oriental. The vineyards, many of them old and bush-trained, are located at altitudes between 300 and 600 meters. The low yield per hectare allows for the production of a concentrated and aromatic wine.
Selected grapes, destemmed and partially crushed, with a high proportion of whole berries, underwent a maceration period of 15-20 days with daily pump-overs. Subsequently, controlled fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 23-26ºC. The resulting red wine was aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, followed by another long period of refinement in the bottle.
Bodegas Marqués del Atrio is one of the few wineries located in Navarra territory that belongs to the D.O.Ca. Rioja. This winery has a strong international presence and highlights the quality of the vineyards in the Mendavia area, within the Rioja Oriental sub-region.
Marqués del Atrio Reserva 2019 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is perfect to pair with pork tenderloin in a forest fruit reduction or a fine grilled beef sirloin.

The winery
Jesús Rivero belongs to a lineage of winemakers with a centuries-old tradition, leading Bodegas Faustino Rivero Ulecia in Rioja. With the turn of the century, he decided to establish a new winery aimed at creating wines of excellent quality that reflect the personality of the Mendavia area in the Rioja Oriental. This is how Hacienda y Viñedos Marqués del Atrio was born.
In recent years, the winery has incorporated the fifth generation of the family: Manuel and Jorge Rivero, who have promoted a more contemporary and modern style in the wines; as well as improvement efforts that include soil studies to identify different plots and their separate vinification and aging, determining where the highest quality grapes are found.
The goal of Bodegas Marqués del Atrio is to design wines that reflect the terroir, and to achieve this, they focus on a minimally interventionist winemaking approach. The winery owns 20 hectares of vineyards surrounding its facilities and is supplied by an additional 900 controlled hectares. For its Marqués de Atrio range, it uses old bush vines located on slopes with poor, very stony soils, ideal for ensuring the plants do not express excessive vigor.
