Region

La Rioja

Das Rioja, die führende Weinbauregion Spaniens, ist in drei Bereiche Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa und Rioja Baja unterteilt. Die Region ist berühmt für hochstehende Rotweine und riesige Kellereien, letzteres, weil alle Weine mindestens ein Jahr im Eichenfass und wenigstens ein weiteres Jahr in der Flasche reifen. Nach der Reblauskatastrophe floss erheblich Kapital aus der baskischen Industrie in den Wiederaufbau der Region und den Export der Weine in die USA, weshalb die Weine traditionell in Fässern aus amerikanischer Eiche reifen. Im Rioja baut man überwiegend die rote Tempranillo-Traube an, dies auf verschiedenartigsten Böden, von Sand bis Schwemmland. Klimatisch ist die Rioja Baja mediterran geprägt mit extrem heissen, trockenen Sommern und milden Wintern, während sich in den kühleren Rioja Alta und Rioja Alavesa der Einfluss des Atlantiks bemerkbar macht.


Producer/Brand

Asua

As long ago as 1879, the brothers Eusebio and Raimundo Real de Asua from Bilbao started growing grapes in the little village of Haro in Rioja; their new bodega was built for them by Gustave Eiffel. The wines of Asúa are a tribute to this pioneering age: fruity, very elegant wines with clear barrique notes. They are made from carefully selected, hand-picked grapes that thrive on soils with calcareous loam and ferruginous clay. The grapes are able to ripen slowly thanks to the Atlantic influence, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night in late summer; this preserves their freshness and elegance. A series of pictures by multi-talented artist Eduardo Arroyo Rodríguez was chosen for the labels, telling the story of the bodega and its founder.
