Bodegas Baigorri

In the Rioja Alavesa region, since 2001, one of the most avant-garde and beautiful wineries of the denomination is located: Bodegas BAIGORRI, creator of highly awarded red wines in international competitions and a faithful example of the most current and successful Rioja values: terroir, fruit, and elegance. Their wines express terroir and subtlety, displaying a fruity character that never succumbs under the weight of oak. Key to their success is high-quality raw material, sourced from their 100 hectares of vineyards, with an average age of 50 years; vineyards where they apply sustainable farming and meticulous selection work.

BAIGORRI is also one of the most spectacular wineries in the world, designed by architect Iñaki Aspiazu. Its facilities are organized over several levels (underground floors) to take advantage of gravity and carry out a carefully detailed production process that begins with the manual selection of grapes. On the upper level, the grapes are received after harvest; on the lower level, the vinification process takes place in tanks, and on a third level, the aging in barrels (always French oak). In this way, the wine moves by its own weight, avoiding the use of pumps to preserve the fruit's qualities to the maximum. The interest in enological research is another characteristic of this winery.
