Altún Villacardiel wine from Bodegas Altún is a new tempranillo offering, made from a family winery owned by the Martínez Pangua brothers in Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa, at an altitude of 630 metres, at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria, which highlights its freshness, excellent woodwork and elegant end result. It is a wine with a modern style, with prominent wood and fresh, attractive fruit.
Brothers Iker and Alberto Martínez Pangua know how to make the most of a vineyard located on clay-limestone soils, where the vines coexist surrounded by a small forest of holm oaks and typical Sonsierra vegetation.
Altún Villacardiel was released in an edition of 14,000 bottles. It reflects the Atlantic character of the area, the freshness of its grapes and the purest expression of Tempranillo in a perfect combination of modern style wine with excellent quality oak. The Martínez Pangua family cultivates fifty hectares of properties in Baños de Ebro, Laguardia, Elciego and San Vicente de la Sonsierra. They are the third generation of winegrowers and the second of winemakers since their parents managed to bottle their own branded wines in the 1980s.A blend of wine from a vineyard located in the municipality of Laguardia. It is located in a protected archaeological area where remains of a medieval necropolis and earlier dolmens and cave wine presses carved into the rock have been found. This red wine has deep aromas of red and black fruits and flowers with an unctuous palate, with exuberant tannins.
