Since 1950, the Bodegas de Familia Burgo Viejo winery represents a new way of understanding Rioja, combining the pride of its age-old tradition with an innovative spirit that puts it at the forefront of the 21st century. Winegrowers tend the more than 200 hectares of own vineyards with passionate attention to detail in order to obtain high quality grapes, which will then be crafted into wines that are highly appreciated the world over. Our vineyards stretch across the entire municipality of Alfaro, from the Ebro valley right up to the slopes of the sierra of Monte Yerga. This extensive surface area offers a great variety of soils and micro-climates, where the Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Garnacha, Graciano, Viura and Tempranillo Blanco grapes are grown, each with its own distinctive features. These grapes are all used to craft the wines of Burgo Viejo. Our vineyards, which are more than 30 years old on average, include parcels that date back almost a century as well as more recent plantations of Graciano and Tempranillo Blanco, the organic grown varieties of the future. Thanks to the fact that almost the entire vineyard is owned by the winery, our experts are able to constantly monitor the raw material. This makes it possible to reduce the yields to the point considered suitable for optimum quality, avoiding any type of disease problem with the grapes and deciding on just the right time for harvesting.
