Bodegas del Medievo Established in 2001, Bodegas del Medievo is an exciting new winery situated in Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja) about 50 km from Logrono, the capital of DOC Rioja. They are located in the Rioja Baja, in the southeast of the Rioja region where the climate is warmer and more Mediterranean than the Alta/Alavesa.
They own 220 hectares of vineyards which include the main varieties, Tempranillo 65%, Garnacha 20%, Mazuelo 10% and Graciano 5%. Their vineyards extend across the highest areas of Aldeanueva on the fringes of Mount Yerga at about 600 metres above sea level. The soil in this area is essentially clay-calcareous, poor in organic matter which, combined with the low average rainfall of 400mm and the altitude of its vineyards, gives optimal conditions for the cultivation of healthy grapes providing great intensity of colour and hence producing wines of an unquestionable air of modernity. They produce young red, white and rose, Crianza and Reserva wines. Bodegas del Medievo's objective is to produce high quality wines with a modern wine-making style hence crafting outstanding, fruit driven wines of great elegance. |
