Bodegas Ochoa...

Quality begins in the vineyard. Years of experimentation have totally convinced me of this: great wines start out in life as great grapes. At Bodegas Ochoa, they make wine exclusively with grapes from their own vines. They planted the vines themselves, and every year they are personally involved in the pruning and harvesting. Their quest for top quality grapes sometimes means accepting lower yields from their vines.

They also believe in working in harmony with the environment. They treat the land as their ancestors did, but with the aid of modern-day technology. Mechanisation allows them to provide the vines with precisely the nurture they require. And with careful, innovative vinification, they are able to make a specific wine from every individual patch of vines. All their wines are estate bottled.

Tempranillo is considered the most important variety for quality wines in Spain. This red crianza wine is made entirely from a selected clone of this variety, grown in their vineyard Finca El Bosque.

The wine was aged in American oak casks, where it gained finesse and elegance, rounding up in the bottle. Good structure, fine fruit, balanced ripe tannins and elegant, fresh finish.

Only in the very best vintages do they release their Gran Reserva. Made with the best Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from the oldest vines in their vineyards at Olite and Traibuenas.

This wine is aged in American oak barrels for two years. Once the wine is bottled, it will rest in their winery for as long as necessary to reach its status of Gran Reserva.

After careful monitoring of the grapes on the vine, they select the best bunches of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon from Finca Montijo. They are picked by hand, and after the alcoholic fermentation the skins are left to macerate in the new wine for a few weeks.

The malolactic fermentation takes place in new American and French oak barrels, where the wine remains on its fine lees for four months, with frequent stirring.
