It is beyond doubt that Rioja is one of the foremost wine regions in the world, but that doesn’t mean there is no potential to be trapped or no new approaches to be explored. The team behind de Alto definitely believe this and have been focusing more and more on what goes on in the vineyard than the bodega. Working with selected vineyards that have been converted and transformed into organic certified oases, the resulting wines are all about the fruit rather than winery and the ageing process.

A bright fruit-bursting wine that discards the hackneyed image of Rioja, everything about this wine is intentionally provocative to challenge your view on what Rioja is. Clean and crisp, intense yet fresh, the stone fruit, peachy notes are supported by tropical passion fruit and mango with citrus undertones. A long complex finish.
