Finca San Martin

A versatile wine to enjoy by the glass or paired with charcuterie, starters, main courses and meat dishes in general.

100% Tempranillo grapes selected from our vineyard in Torre de Oña, in the foothills of Sierra de Cantabria. This terroir, predominantly limestone and well-drained, produces grapes with great aromatic complexity and outstanding freshness. Grapes were harvested by hand and taken to the winery in boxes.

Ageing began in January 2020 in new American (60%) and French second-use oak barrels (40%) and lasted 16 months. This wine was racked three times using the traditional method. It was bottled in September 2021.

We use the bordelaise system of destemming with gentle crushing, followed by alcoholic fermentation and, subsequently, malolactic fermentation in tanks.

Established in 1987, Torre de Oña was bought by La Rioja S.A in 1995 with the aim of making wine of excellent quality. Located in Rioja Alavesa subzone, the 45 hectare estate specializes in single-vineyard Tempranillo. They also produce small quantities of Mazuela, Garnacha and Viura. In 2005 the winery went a step further in improving their quality by thoroughly studying it’s soils in order to determine the specific characteristics of each site and were the first to use optical sorting of grapes in the region.
