ARIZCUREN BODEGA Y VIÑEDOS

(LOGROÑO)

Good viticulturists take the landscapes of their vineyard to the bottle and make us dream of those lands. This is what Javier Arizcuren wines are like, pure terroir from the Sierra de Yerga in La Rioja Oriental. They are small wines in production, but very big in character, as confirmed by the scores of the main guides, or by being present on the menus of more than 30 restaurants with Michelin stars, such as Martin Berasategui, Arzak, Atrio, Echaurren or Maaemo in Norway. In his urban winery in Logroño he has combined vocation and trade, creating a space for the production and aging of his wines that will not leave those who visit him indifferent. Below we detail the types of visits we offer: Urban Cellar The vision of the architect and the winegrower united in a reinvented urban space that recovers a lost historical tradition of making wines in the center of Logroño. The visit begins by locating the setting for the vineyards, the Sierra de Yerga in Eastern Rioja, as well as a review of the past and present of the traditional viticultural culture. We will see century-old plots and how these vineyards are worked through sustainable and respectful viticulture. We will take a tour of the production and aging facilities of the urban winery, stopping at the particularities of artisan work, aging in clay amphorae, foudres or barrels. We will also see how we carry out the work of labeling and sealing bottles when it comes to wines in small productions. We will finish off with a tasting of three wines: Monte Gatún, Sologarnacha and Solomazuelo, with an appetizer with selected Rioja sausages and accompanied by our own organic olive oil and wood-fired oven bread. An emotional visit to enjoy the culture of wine, with the charm of the small and the artisanal.

It begins with a detailed view of the historic vineyards of Rioja Oriental, its distinctive grape varieties that have traditionally been grown in our area, the culture of detail in the world of wine, small plots worked with the traditional knowledge transmitted by the ancestors. We will continue with a tour of the production and aging rooms of the urban winery, where we will learn how these wines are made and aged in barrels, amphorae and concrete tanks in such a unique space. We will taste 5 wines that are part of the Arizcuren project: Monte Gatún, the Sologarnacha and Solomazuelo varietals, a wine made in clay amphorae, and to round off an exclusive parcel wine such as Barranco del Prado, classified as a Singular Vineyard by the Rioja Regulatory Council. All these wines together are present on the menus of more than 30 Michelin star restaurants.
