Herkullinen artesaaniviini Riojan luoteisosasta, Obarenes-vuoriston alarinteiltä. Tarhojen läheisyys viileälle Biskajanlahdelle (80 km), yhdistettynä alueen maaperään, joka on hiekkakiven, saven ja kalkkikiven sekoitus, tuottaa mausteista mutta tasapainoisen hienostunutta viiniä. Lajikkeina on Tempranillo 80% ja Garnacha 20%. Käymisen jälkeen viiniä on kypsytelty noin 15 kuukauden ajan erikokoisissa käytetyissä tammitynnyreissä. Tyylillisesti tämä viini sopii mainiosti keskivahvoille liharuuille, esimerkiksi yrttisille ja valkosipulilla maustetuille karitsankyljyksille.
93+/100p The Wine Advocate: The house red 2020 Tinto showed superbly. It´s a blend of Tempranillo from the Obarenes Mountains (Sajazarra and Fonzaleche) with 20% Garnacha from Cárdenas on clay and some 5% white that has 14.2% alcohol but feels perfectly balanced and integrated. It has a serious, harmonious nose with complexity and depth but also youth. It has a soft and juicy texture with focused and clean flavors, finishing with an almost salty twist. Super tasty and easy to drink! Great value too. It matured in a mixture of 1,000- and 3,000-liter oak foudres and 225- and 500-liter barrels.
Alegre Valgañón is a small artesan winery in the northwest corner of the Rioja wine region, in the village of Sajazara, at the foot of the Obarenes Mountains. The company is a joint venture between Oscar Alegre and Eva Valgañón and owns only 3.4 hectares of vineyards. Supplementary grapes can also be obtained from the vineyards owned by Eva’s family. The majority of the vineyards are located in the areas of the villages of Sajazarra, Fonzalec and Salinillas, but there are also plantations in the south of Rioja, in the village of Cárdenas, dedicated to the cultivation of Garnacha.
Eva has extensive experience in her family’s vineyards, and Oscar has previously worked at high-end resorts such as Alvaro Palacios and Telmo Rodriguez. Oscar also owns another wine company, Fine Rioja Wines, which focuses on the sale of long-served Rioja quality wines.
