Raiza Altos de Rioja Tempranillo

This red wine from Raiza is the youngest wine from this fine winery. It's a Rioja made from the Tempranillo grape and is not aged in oak. This gives it a pleasantly smooth and very accessible taste. The grapes are grown in the Rioja Baja, the eastern part of the Rioja DOC.

Raiza is the name of the Rioja

Raiza is the name of the Rioja from the Vicente Gandia winery. The Tempranillo grapes for this wine are harvested by hand and with care in the second half of September. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats at 26 degrees Celsius, ensuring the grape's fruity character is preserved. The young wine is then bottled without oak aging. Rioja is the DO for excellent Spanish wines. It's no wonder it's the first recognized region in Spain. Rioja wines are made from Tempranillo grapes, carefully selected to create exceptional wines that represent the essence of La Rioja.

Gandia the winemaker of this red wine

Since 1885, the Valencian Gandia family has been active in the wine trade throughout Europe. It wasn't until the 1960s that they began bottling their own wine. They were the first winery in the wider Valencia area. Today, they produce wine throughout most of Spain. Vicente Gandia is a leading, innovative winery. Now run by the fourth generation, the company has focused on expanding its portfolio with wines from Rioja, Rueda, Rías Baixas, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat. Year after year, Vicente Gandia wines are reliable, accessible, and easy to drink, always offering exceptional value.
