About Altún San Quiles

Rioja is undoubtedly one of the world's great wine regions, and as such, it has maintained its recognition thanks to the tireless efforts of its winemakers. However, as with all things in life, times change, and although over the years Rioja has been synonymous with quality and winemaking tradition thanks to renowned brands, today, a new wave of young winemakers is ready to step forward and lead the region towards new horizons.

One such example is the winery Altún, whose founder, José Antonio Martínez, began his journey in 1994 with the aim of continuing Rioja's winemaking tradition. Today, his sons, Iker and Alberto Martínez Pangua, lead the project, bringing a fresh and renewed vision, respectful of tradition yet clearly focused on innovation. Instead of merely following the path set by previous generations, Iker and Alberto have committed to creating a range of village and single-vineyard wines that stand out for their character, rooted in respect for the land and the incorporation of new technologies. 

A clear example of this philosophy is Altún San Quiles, a wine sourced from the San Quiles vineyard in Baños de Ebro. Here, at an altitude of 450 metres and with a 20% slope, graciano grapes thrive on soils of sand, calcareous sandstones, and clays with restrained yields. The harvest is manual, in 11-kilogram boxes, and once in the winery, the grapes are gravity-fed into vats, using indigenous yeasts and undergoing spontaneous malolactic fermentation in 500-litre French oak barrels. Finally, it ages in these same barrels for 4 months and another 4 months in concrete.

Fresh, complex, and balanced, Altún San Quiles embodies a terroir that remains untouched, yet with an innovative outlook that always seeks to push boundaries. It reflects a new generation of winemakers who understand that change is essential for growth and adaptation, while always preserving the soul of Rioja. For although the terroir remains the same, times do indeed change.

 

2022

Altún San Quiles 2022 presents itself with an alluring cherry hue and purple highlights. On the nose, it is distinguished by its intense aromatic profile, where notes of black fruits such as blackberries and plums emerge, accompanied by balsamic and spicy nuances that add complexity. On the palate, it exhibits an elegant fluidity, balancing its robust structure with a light and fresh character. This is a wine that invites enjoyment on any occasion, leaving a pleasant sensation on the palate.
