Description
Made from the estate’s yongest vines. It is light and harmonious, with a fruit driven palate and soft tannins, and is a complete pleasure to drink.
Raimundo Abando of Bodegas Las Orcas used to compete in triathlons at an international level, but now puts all his energy into producing and ageing some very elegant Rioja. He is the 3rd generation of winemakers in his family, dating back to 1900. Most of the production is Tempranillo but he also makes a great-value white from Viura and some wines contain a touch of Graciano. The Rioja Alavesa is sheltered from the hotter conditions lower down the Ebro valley by the Cantabrian Mountains, enabling Rai to make wines with higher acidity, lower alcohol and more freshness.
