Wine Finca La Montesa Crianza 2021

Alvaro Palacios recovers with La Montesa, the autochthonous garnacha of La Rioja

The Eastern Rioja is the most arid, warm and windy Rioja. The most Mediterranean Rioja.

The rugged and high environment of Monte Yerga, where the first monks of the Cistercian monastery arrived, today Alvaro Redondo recovers the traditional viticulture of the Garnacha as the protagonist and symbol of its own viticultural history.

Mount Yerga

Our organic and natural vineyards are located in the Yerga hills of the Iberian system, a mountainous environment overlooking the Ebro valley.

Geography, microclimates and calcareous soils. History, culture and Garnacha. All of this comes together and explains Alfaro's profound wine-making identity.

A special freshness unites the fragrances of the scrubland, with an air of oceanic influence. It is an exciting atmosphere.

100 hectares of organic viticulture in neat and tidy formation.

Classic vineyard surrounded by the wild nature of Monte Yerga. 
Soils of calcareous and clay-ferrous conglomerates.

An arid, windy environment, benefiting from the refreshing factor of the altitude. The temperament of the Garnacha grape: a traditional flavour to which we return a historical prominence.

The fruit becomes a gentle flow full of vitality, an elixir of life, an intimate pleasure of nature.
