Altos de Rioja

Cantina e Vini

Altos de Rioja is a smart, "boutique winery" in the heart of the best winegrowing area of the Rioja Alavesa. It was founded in September 2006 with the sole aim of creating a range of stylish, modern Rioja wines. Wines with a real sense of place based on respect for traditional expertise but also using the latest, state of the art techniques to best showcase the special characteristics of Rioja’s unique terroir. Altos de Rioja is located in Elvillar, a small village in one of the freshest areas in Rioja Alavesa, on the foothills of Sierra Cantabria. It’s in the heart of Rioja’s best wine growing areas, at 700 metres above sea level. This boutique winery balances the richness of the ‘terroir’, the traditional work at the vineyard and the latest technical advances. Altos R moves from its previous installation in Laguardia to a new, modern building. Equipped with the best technologies, the new facilities will help in the production of great wines. All of the wines in the Altos R portfolio are aged in barrels. 80% of them are French oak (Taransaud, Saury, François Frères) and 20% are American oak (Canton) barrels.
