Sonsierra Reserva 2020 is the flagship wine of a winery that has earned its place among the great names of Rioja. A Reserva with an impressive track record of awards, it reflects the unique character of Tempranillo grown in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, one of the most prestigious wine-growing areas in Rioja. It stands out for its freshness, elegance, and expressive fruit character.
Bodegas Sonsierra enjoys a vast vineyard capacity to choose from. With more than 500 hectares cultivated in the coveted surroundings of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, it possesses unique vineyards with which to produce great wines such as Sonsierra Reserva 2020, a red that offers a very contemporary interpretation of this category, with the fruit very much present. It is produced as a monovarietal Tempranillo from old bush vines on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria and hand-harvested. It has an ageing of 12 months in French oak barrels (60%) and American (40%).
Bodegas Sonsierra was founded in 1962 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, when a group of grape growers decided to pool their vineyard holdings to realise their dream of creating a great winery in Rioja Alta. Thus, this firm began as a cooperative and today continues to maintain its cooperative spirit. It produces wines from its own vineyards, an exceptional estate comprising 500 hectares of vines inherited from generation to generation and located in the environs of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the most exclusive area of Rioja, where Tempranillo reaches a high level of quality.

Located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Bodegas Sonsierra produces wines exclusively from its own vineyard, 100% within the same village. Bodegas Sonsierra boasts a long history of crafting high-end wines. The winery was established in 1962 through the initiative of a group of local winegrowers who decided to pool their vineyards to fulfill their dream: to create a great winery in Rioja Alta.
