Carlos Sánchez 1er Cru Los Montes Bellos del Buradòn

70% Tempranillo, 30% Viura

Carlos Sánchez 1er Cru Los Montes Bellos del Buradòn is born, a coupage made from old Tempranillo and Viura vines in vineyards located in Labastida at 480 metres above sea level. The vines were planted in 1977 on sandy clay-limestone soil and cultivated following biodynamic principles. The grapes are harvested by hand and, once in the winery, they undergo daily crushing and pigéage. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration lasts 30 days and malolactic fermentation takes place in 500 litre barrels where the wine remains for 14 months before bottling, without filtering or stabilising.

With the name of the municipality on the label, Carlos Sánchez 1er Cru Los Montes Bellos del Buradòn is a premier cru. A coupage whose aesthetics are reminiscent of a 1962 label from the legendary Burgundy producer Henri Jayer, to promote the concept of vinification by plot that this “micro winemaker” so strongly advocates in the D.O.Ca Rioja.
