Tobelos

The land

The essence of Tobelos is made up of 5 estates, among which Finca Quiñones stands out, a singular vineyard, where there is an archaeological site with a hermitage and a medieval necropolis.

In this plot located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra we grow Viura and Tempranillo and it is precisely from this area that the grapes used to make the most prized wines of tobelos come from.

The winery

Bodegas Tobelos is a winery that combines tradition and avant-garde in the heart of La Rioja Alta.

The winery is located at the top of the village of Briñas, 2 km. from Haro, in one of the most traditional wine-growing areas of La Rioja, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria and the Obarenes Mountains, with magnificent views of the Ebro River.

The winegrower

The winemaking takes place in truncated cone-shaped tanks, steel tanks, concrete tanks and oak vats. The winery has a small micro-vinification cellar, a true commitment to R&D&I, where the winemaker (Adriana Lauzirica) continues to test different winemaking techniques so that the wines can better convey the essence of the terroir and the grape variety.

By Mª José Huertas

Rioja Crianza red wine, classic with very good fruit, delicious and balanced. This would be my short presentation of this wine when tasting it.

Attractive garnet color of medium depth. In aromas it is very fruity with ripe black fruit such as blackberries, plums and also red fruits such as strawberries. It is herbal and floral.

In the mouth it is silky, fruity, refreshing and with a pleasant finish. Very gastronomic wine to enjoy with soft and tasty dishes and even to have a glass as an aperitif.
