La Carbonera
Description
Data of interest
La Carbonera is the new winemaking project of Familia Torres in Rioja Alavesa. Located in the municipality of Labastida, the winery takes its name from its most emblematic vineyard, La Carbonera, classified as a singular vineyard for its historical and heritage value in preserving ancient rock-hewn wine presses.
Originally from Penedès, the Torres family arrived in 2006 to Rioja Alavesa, drawn by the winemaking tradition of this sub-region. With this project, which began a decade ago, they strengthen their commitment to Labastida under the oenological direction of Julio Carreter.
The aim of La Carbonera is none other than to highlight the origin and typicity of the area through tempranillo wines that reflect the unmistakable Rioja landscape, from its 20 hectares of estate-owned vineyards and selected vineyards from local growers. They produce Las Pisadas, a wine from Labastida whose first vintage was 2015, and Malpastor Crianza, which comes from selected vineyards with clay-limestone soils at the foothills of the Sonsierra. 2020 is its first vintage.
