DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
At Bodegas Baigorri, the force of gravity drives the wine making process. Built 32 metres underground, the winery uses the most rigorous methods for selecting grapes by hand, harnessing gravity and avoiding the use of pumps or mechanical methods of any kind that might damage the grape or the wine. The winery itself, as much a work of art as the wines it produces, is one of the landmark buildings in Rioja Alavesa.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
Bodegas Campillo is the result of Julio Faustino’s passion for wine, a passion which prompted him to contract an architect to give shape to his dream. The winery is the first in Rioja to be built with special emphasis on architectural vision; a large hall provides a view of the five levels into which it is divided and the cantilevered spiral staircase that forms the heart of the winery.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
Bodegas Fernadez Pierola was set up in 1996. It is a family cellar, harvesting and fermenting grapes from family vineyards located in Moreda (Rioja Alavesa). Our philosophy is to make high quality wines and provide connoisseurs with potent, well-structured red wines with body. They are balanced to express the aromas of Tempranillo in Moreda. Our red wines develop into good, complex, intense and elegant red wines. The aromas of our fresh white wines mantain a warmth derived from the oak in which they were fermented, allowing a fruit-bearing, soft and balanced sensation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
In 1985, the brothers Vicente, José Mari and José Errasti decided to establish a winery at Baños de Ebro with its own, unique identity. The owners have a 50 year track record in grape growing and winemaking. In addition to BODEGAS GAILUR, the brothers also own TXAKOLI ZUDUGARAI, a winery producing under the Getariako Txakolina D.O. designation of origin. In the year 2000, in view of the widespread acceptance of their wines, the brothers decided to extend their facilities and incorporate the latest techniques as a way of guaranteeing quality whilst obtaining a traditional product. In this way, the wine ageing capacity was increased to the present 2000 m2 cellars. Recognition of the quality of our wines, endorsed by our customers in the catering and food supply sectors, is encouraging us to continue along these lines, an approach which will unquestionably help us to achieve the right market position for our wines.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
The Bodega has approximately 25 hectares of vineyards between Laguardia and Lapuebla de Labarca, and the average age of the vines is 45 years old. 85% of the vines are of the indigenous Tempranillo variety, 8% are Viura, and the rest are comprised of Graciano and Garnacha. The altitude, sunshine hours, temperature, the moderate rainfall and the depth of the soils, along with the age of the vines, are all important factors in determining the quality of the wine produced. The Bodega’s main objective is quality, and has seen its efforts deservedly recognised in recent years by a number of prestigious awards in international wine competitions. The winery has 150 French oak and 290 American oak casks for its ageing.

His wines were known for their high quality and careful elaboration. Loyal to its founder, Bodegas Muriel is the first winery in Rioja Alavesa to obtain the BRC (British Retail Consortium) accreditation in addition to ISO 9001, Revision 2000.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
The Valdelana Family has been farming its vineyards in Elciego (Rioja Alavesa) since the 17th century. The bodega is built over six underground cut stone cellars dating back to the 16th century, where we find the casks, a chapel dating back to 1583 and an underground vineyard. Our wines, however, are international, modern and full coloured, with spectacular aromas from new oak barrels. The perfectly balanced wines show that history and modernity are not incompatible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
Roberto Miguel Blanco, founder of the winery, decided at a very early age to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and devote all his time and energy to growing vines and making and ageing his wines, according to tradition, with loving care and attention. As a symbol of this family-based and traditional character of the winery, the name Artuke points to the future and is inspired by the next generation which is already following him, his sons Arturo and Kike. Starting from the premise that you can only make a great wine from the best grapes, in Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke, the sole source is the family’s own estate vineyards over just 16 hectares.

Our total production is limited up to 300.000 bottles per year but this allows us the possibility to offer an optimum quality to our customers. The quality of our wine goes with its presentation: attractive and elegant.

1. TXAKOLI TXOMIN ETXANIZ 2009
WHITE. Vintage: 2009.
Grape variety: Hondarribi Zuri 90% Hondarribi Beltza 10%
DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
The tiny Chacolí de Guetaria/Getariako Txakolina DO is centred around the small medieval fishing town of Guetaria and now consists of some 350 hectares, but, given demand, cult status and the Spanish bandwagon, there are now 2 rival DOs: Chacolí de Álava and Chacolí de Vizcaya.
Historic Txomin Etxaniz represents the pinnacle of quality in the heartland, where the Chueca family have been making wine for generations (the official archives date back to 1649) and now have some 40 owned hectares together with a further 15 that are contracted.
The main reason that Ernesto’s wine is so drinkable is the small percentage of (black) free run, low alcohol Hondarribi Beltza that it contains, which rounds the high acidity of the (white) Hondarribi Zuri out and makes it so pleasurably balanced.
The volume of production is now 500,000 kilos in a good year on the basis of some 13,000 kilos a hectare; and the wine – a crisp, buzzy, citrusy, spritzy offering of pleasing intensity that continues to delight and find new, surprised fans – is steel fermented for some 3 weeks at 15°, with the centenary vines providing the root-stock for new plantings.
Chosen this year for the annual Gran Caballero dinner, Ernesto shrugs his shoulders and just gets on with things in his usual no nonsense Basque way. He is pleased that the anchovies the town is renowned for are at last regenerating in suficient quantities to allow fishing, and his stalwart clients are giving him no grief. He is looking forward to cracking on with the next vintage.

1. EL PUNTIDO
HIGH EXPRESSION WINE. RED. Vintage: 2005-06
Grape variety: Tempranillo 100%
In Barrel: 16-18 months
DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE CELLAR
The medieval town of Laguardia by the foot of the Sierra Cantabria mountain range is an outstanding site chosen by farmers ever since the Neolithic times due to its exceptional climatic and geological characteristics. Here, amongst archaeological remains, ancient hermitages and churches, lies Viñedos de Páganos, where the soil lends the vineyard and therefore the wine a unique mineral character with extraordinary personality. El Puntido, which originates from the vineyards surrounding the winery, express the single characteristics of this enclave, of the soil and of the perfect adaptation of the Tempranillo variety. Once elaborated, the wine lies in optimal conditions in underground caves, similar to those built during the XVIth century.
