BODEGAS BAIGORRI
A unique enclave of Rioja Alavesa with an incomparable environment for growing grapes. A gigantic glass box is what we see from the outside when we look at the Bodega Baigorri building.
Surrounded by an immense sea of vineyards overlooking the town of Samaniego and under the Sierra de Cantabria surprises visitors. After admiring the beauty of the surroundings they discover the seven underground floors of one of the most spectacular wineries in Spain.
RESTAURANT
A fantastic gastronomic experience in one of the most spectacular wineries in Rioja Alavesa and Spain.
The ideal setting to enjoy the finest cuisine and the fusion with our fascinating culture of wine.
Deep down on the sixth level you will find the restaurant, a place to rest and relax with views of the vineyards and the barrel cellar. Call them in advance and book your visit and your España Discovery experience.
WINES
The whole process is done by gravity, in a vertical process, to preserve the integrity of the grapes as much as possible, so they reach the fermentation intact. All the movement of the grapes and wine is done using gravity, with no kind of mechanical lifting.
There is no hopper at reception and no pumping for moving the grapes or for pumping over in the vats which could damage them, all the way from the sorting tables to bottling the wine, via all the underground floors in the winery, thereby optimising all the phases of the process.
CELLAR
The grapes for our wines are grown according to sustainable agriculture methods, in harmony with Nature, using both traditional and modern methods. They come from old vines, deeply rooted in our land and in our culture, and their gift to us is their unique quality. They are picked by hand and processed in the most delicate way possible, in order to transform the authentic flavour of Nature itself into wine. The high quality of our wines comes ultimately from the vineyard itself and is nothing but the faithful reflection of the soil, climate and tradition of Rioja Alavesa.
