Etienne\u2019s initiative is two-fold: to revisit his family roots on his mothers\u2019 side and to offer a wine that lives up to the family\u2019s history of brokering fine wines into the sophisticated Belgian market for three generations on his father\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRIOJA ALAVESA\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Rioja Alavesa is a stunning region where quality wines \u2013 nature\u2019s very own expression \u2013 have been elaborated for centuries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTEMPRANILLO\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This indigenous grape variety, well-suited to the soils\u2019 complexity, brings elegance to our wines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEL SACRAMENTO\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ancient scripts on Laguardia mention that the Brotherhood of the Sant\u00edsimo Sacramento cultivated a vineyard called El Sacramento, where they produced wine as early as the mid-17th century. The name El Sacramento was supposedly assigned to a plot of land, the very first that Vi\u00f1as Leizaola bought and which still carries this name today.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSELECTION\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We carefully thin the vine stalks during the entire growth cycle to ensure a balanced crop-load. During the harvest, the bunches are manually selected and individual grapes are then mechanically selected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Our 22 hectares compose a mosaic around the winery. We cultivate and vinify on a plot-by-plot basis as we endeavor to reveal the terroir\u2019s full identity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>[vc_column_text]Rioja Alavesa is located at a climatic frontier which is favorable for producing fine wines. The patchwork of different plots of land, all with diverse geological characteristics, adds to this complexity. We strive to convey all this in our wines.<\/p>\n

Finca El Sacramento is located on a geological break. The clay and limestone soils are rich in organic matter with a remarkable mineral balance and a natural capacity to regulate the water supply of the vineyard\u2019s root system.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its spectacular location, Finca El Sacramento enjoys the ideal conditions for producing a fine wine \u2013 it is a great terroir<\/em> which warrants our constant attention to detail. Situated on a promontory, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

Our wine is the unique expression of the terroir\u2019s<\/em> magical harmony.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”parallax” content_text_aligment=”center” parallax_background_image=”11208″][vc_column parallax=”content-moving” css=”.vc_custom_1610367635828{padding-top: 0px !important;}”]
