  “La Rioja Alta formed part of my “classic Rioja” day…I have admired their wines for many years, Rioja that speaks so eloquently and with such clarity of their place.” – Neil Martin

La Rioja Alta, as its name suggests, is located at the heart of the Haro’s historic “Barrio de la Estación” at Rioja Alta, where López de Heredia and Muga (also producing classical styled Riojas) can be found. Even though it has grown from a small vineyard to a 400-hectare estate, the descendants of the founders are still shareholders today and its current chairman is the fifth generation of his family. Their three Reserva wines, Alberdi, Arana and Ardanza, are named after the founding families. The company is famed for its Reservas and in particular for its Gran Reservas, the 904 and 890, both of which are only produced in exceptional years

Torre de Ona

Founded in 1987, this small bodega is located in one of the most exclusive and privileged regions of the Rioja Alavesa subzone, with vines planted 630 meters above sea level. In January 1995, Torre de Oña became part of the Grupo La Rioja Alta, S.A. Staying faithful to the estate philosophy of making wines exclusively from their own vineyards, Torre de Oña Reserva is a modern wine, aged in French and Caucasian oak, highlighting the personality of this unique estate.

Aster, Crianza

Bodegas Áster was conceived with enthusiasm, wisdom and patience. To find the most appropriate estate, La Rioja Alta sought both the counsel of the old growers in the area and the advice of professors of viticulture. They studied and analyzed soils, grapes and climates in different sub-areas. Finally, Anguix, Burgos proved to be the ideal location. Their vineyards are at an altitude of 830 m above sea level, where almost 80 hectares of Tinta del País were planted.
