D.O. Rias Baixas Overview RĂas Baixas is located in the region of Galicia (North West of Spain), it is known for making the one of the best white wines in the Iberian Peninsula, it has 5 subzones, and the main grape harvested is AlbariĂąo. The Vineyards that produce these outstanding wines are tended in the local popular Emparrado Trellis system, which was invented by the Romans during the 2nd. Century to maximize air circulation allowing for a better drier ripening season. Due to their qualities, these wines harmonize perfectly with fish, seafood; they are wines for all times ideal for tasting sip by sip at jubilant times or aperitifs or as part of the most refined liturgy of cuisine.

D.O. Bierzo Overview The region of BIERZO is located in the northwest of Spain in the Province of León. Laying on a tectonic depression surrounded by mountain ranges (Mountains of León and Mountain chain of Cantabria), Bierzo is a main valley with lateral tiny valleys where the Sil river and its streams flow. This generates a clear Atlantic influence with both Mediterranean and Atlantic climatic advantages: smooth temperatures, abundant sunshine and good water retention. Bierzo is a valley where small plots grow from 400 meters to 800 meters above sea level. The main red grape grown in Bierzo is Mencía followed by Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet). Then, as far as white grapes are concerned, we find Godello, Doña Blanca, Palomino and Malvasía.

D.O.C. Rioja Overview Rioja wines are covered by the oldest Designation of Origin in Spain. The modern Rioja was born in the late 19th century, establishing a clear link between the name of a product and the place where it was made. This sparked growing concerns among Rioja's grape growers and winemakers who sought to firmly guarantee the quality and authenticity of the wines produced in the region while protecting its identity against “usurpers and counterfeiters.� Rioja is a privileged region for growing grapes and making top-quality wines, with a unique personality and an exceptional aptitude for ageing. The Rioja wine region is located in northern Spain, on both sides of the River Ebro. Its 63,593 hectares of vineyards are divided between three provinces on the Upper Ebro - La Rioja (43,885 ha), Alava (12,934 ha) and Navarre (6,774 ha). The whole area benefits from the confluence of two distinctly opposed climates -Atlantic and Mediterranean- which provide mild temperatures and an annual rainfall of slightly above 400 l/m2 -ideal conditions for growing grapes. The Regulations recognise the existence of three sub-areas with distinct vitivinicultural characteristics. The characteristic soils of Rioja are also the most suitable for quality viticulture, as they have a balanced structure (sand, silt, clay), are slightly alkaline, have a poor organic content and moderate water availability in the summer. The wine region has many different soils -chalky-clay, ferrous-clay and alluvial being the main ones- and microclimates -depending on vineyard orientation, protection against wind, etc.- that provide the wines with unique traits. In order to optimise wine quality, the Regulations of the D.O.Ca. Rioja set maximum allowable yields which are 6,500 kilograms per hectare for red grape varieties and 9,000 kg/ha for white grape varieties.
