Established in 2001, Bodegas del Medievo is an exciting new winery situated in Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja) about 50 kms from Logroño, the capital of DOC Rioja. They are located in the Rioja Baja, in the southeast of the region where the climate is warmer and more Mediterranean than the Alta and Alavesa. They own 220 hectares of vineyards which include the main varieties, Tempranillo 65%, Garnacha 20%, Mazuelo 10% and Graciano 5%. Their vineyards extend across the highest areas of Aldeanueva on the fringes of Mount Yerga at about 600 metres above sea level. The soil in this area is essentially clay-calcareous, poor in organic matter which, combined with the low average rainfall of 400mm and the altitude of its vineyards, provides optimal conditions for the cultivation of healthy grapes with great intensity of colour and hence producing wines of an unquestionably modern character. They produce young red, white and rosé, Crianza and Reserva wines.

Bodegas del Medievo’s objective is to produce high quality wines with a modern wine-making style thereby crafting outstanding, fruit driven wines of great elegance. The winery is equipped with the most advanced techniques and modern facilities, occupying an area of 3500 square metres. They have the capacity to elaborate 2 million kilos of grapes and have 2500 barrels (80% American and 20% French oak), the complete wine making process monitored meticulously by their oenologist, Santiago Garde. The Crianza was selected from over 700 wines and included amongst Spain’s best 100 wines at the Off Licence News Tasting in November 2007. We are the sole UK agents for Bodegas del Medievo.
