Bodegas Vivanco\u2019s commitment to innovation in the production of DOCa Rioja wines, led by Rafael Vivanco, has been evident for years through its research into native grape varieties from the region and their adaptation to the finest terroirs within the appellation. Working from 300 hectares of estate-owned vineyards, Bodegas Vivanco combines tradition with cutting-edge approaches, resulting in some of the most original wines in this Designation of Origin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The single-varietal wines 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco Parcelas de Garnacha', 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco Parcelas de Mazuelo', 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco Parcelas de Maturana Tinta', and 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco Parcelas de Graciano', and their estate wines 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco 4 Varietales' and 'Colecci\u00f3n Vivanco 4 Varietales Dulce de Invierno', have revealed the immense potential of Rioja varieties for producing wines with their own distinct character, provided they are cultivated in the appropriate terroirs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We cannot forget the reinterpretation of the classic Rioja categories with wines of a modern profile, such as Vivanco Crianza and Vivanco Reserva, and the incorporation of grape varieties, such as the also autochthonous Tempranillo Blanco and Maturana Blanca, into their Vivanco L\u00edas Finas Viura-Tempranillo Blanco-Maturana Blanca, or the Garnacha Blanca within the original blend of Vivanco Ros\u00e9 L\u00edas Finas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Finally, there is its commitment to the new Rioja categories introduced in 2017 (Vi\u00f1edo Singular, Vino de Pueblo and Espumoso de Calidad), for which Bodegas Vivanco was the first winery in Rioja to champion them, with wines from each category available on the market since 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

VIVANCO: THE FIRST RIOJA WINERY TO COMMIT TO THE THREE NEW RIOJA CATEGORIES<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Being first is not insignificant. Behind every step we take at Bodegas Vivanco there is a carefully considered reason: to move forward and adapt to changing times, further strengthening, if possible, our commitment to innovation across all our wines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

When, in 2017, the Regulatory Council approved the introduction of three new Rioja categories (Quality Sparkling Wine, Vino de Municipio\u2014now Vino de Pueblo\u2014and Vi\u00f1edo Singular), our hearts beat faster. We had a magnificent opportunity to once again demonstrate the full potential of our vineyards and to continue being pioneers in the dissemination of Wine Culture through these new categories. The first step was Quality Sparkling Wine.<\/p>

With Rafael Vivanco leading the development of the new regulations from the Technical Commission of the Regulatory Council, in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, we presented the first Rioja Reserva sparkling wine, Vivanco Cuv\u00e9e In\u00e9dita Reserva Extra Brut, from the 2017 vintage. One year later, in 2021, we launched its ros\u00e9 version, Vivanco Cuv\u00e9e In\u00e9dita Reserva Extra Brut Ros\u00e9, the first sparkling wine of this colour in the entire appellation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The next step, almost in parallel, was the category then known as Vino de Municipio, later renamed Vino de Pueblo. In 2022, we placed Briones at the centre with Vivanco Brunes 2019. A Vivanco red through and through; based on organic viticulture and innovation, with the Maturana Tinta variety (10%) accompanying Tempranillo (90%). Two estate-owned vineyard parcels, Orizabal and La Isla, and a single objective: to place Briones and its terroir in the position it deserves.<\/p>

As a culmination, in 2023, we devoted all our efforts to showing the world the personality of two unique parcels located in Briones. Thus were born our two Vi\u00f1edo Singular wines: Vivanco La Isla red and Vivanco La Isla white Pie Franco. Two stories that speak of the uniqueness of a place and its circumstances. Two wines that, once again, through organic viticulture, place humankind face to face with nature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

HARVEST<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Vivanco, all grapes are harvested by hand in small 10 kg boxes to protect their integrity from the very first moment. The optimal harvesting time is determined through plot-by-plot tasting, thus ensuring perfect ripeness.<\/span><\/p>

Once at the winery, the grapes are cooled for 24 hours in a refrigerated chamber at 3 \u00b0C. This cold maceration technique allows for gentle extraction of color and aromas, preserving the true character of the fruit to the fullest.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
