Description of their own wines
"Arínzano offers a unique concept in the world of wine, located in a small green paradise. In a geographically extreme location for the cultivation of Tempranillo, being, in fact, the northernmost boundary for Tempranillo in the world. The special conditions of the Pago allow this grape to ripen perfectly, completing its cycle without over-ripening, which provides balance, elegance, and power. Moreover, it is in extreme areas like this where great wines are born."
