Bodegas Tierra Agricola La Bastida S.L.

TIERRA AGRICOLA LA BASTIDA (DOCa Rioja Alavesa) This is Our family project which has been attached to wine-growing for centuries. Our ancestors from Labastida and outskirts lived surrounded by caves and vineyards for generations. Their love and passion for their land and wine has passed on to us until today. Our precious wines are grown in thirty hectares facing the slopes of the Toloño´s mountain with the greatest care of our wine growers from Labastida and San Vicente de la Sonsierra. We believe that the key to get the best results from the vineyard is the right choice of soil and variety plus their orientation altogether.The range of varieties grown on our vineyards, some of which are a hundred years-old, are Tempranillo mostly, as well as, Viura, Graciano and the wonderful Malvasia, which is grown in the oldest vineyards.

CREACIONES EXEO (DOCa Rioja Alavesa): This is the most personal work Carlos ever had , already 8 years old, it is a project based in about 6 hectares in the highest altitud vineyards of Labastida in an area called "Bear Canyon" from Briñas to Labastida, Carlos always says this is the place where God took a nap after creating the world..., very fresh area with much atlantic influence and extremely poor soils. One of the main causes to build Exeo was based in its proper name coming from “Exodus” - getting away of the Rioja standardization and working with different and innovative wine solutions to produce fresh wines with very little influence of the oak-. In this way we have two lines, CIFRAS based  in garnacha grapes, white and red, one of the queens of the region and a bit reviled by other producers in the past but loved by us since many years go, and also the line LETRAS based in Fresh tempranillos mainly (we also use a bit of Graciano and Garnacha too for the blend) with little influence of oak barrels. For producing these wines we only work with concrete, with eggs shapes and also concrete small vats and barrels of 500-600 litters to respect as much as possible the grape itself.
