About Luis Cañas Viñas Viejas

Luis Cañas Fermentado en Barrica is a white wine from D.O. La Rioja produced by Bodegas Luis Cañas in Villabuena, álava. In 1970, this producer started to bottle and market their wines when many others still sold wines in bulk. In 1994, they opened a new winery with the most modern production systems.

They own 350 hectares, mainly planted on clayey-calcareous soils, distributed in 870 plots located in La Rioja Alavesa, an area with an excellent wine tradition. They use a rational viticulture that does not use any herbicides or synthetic fertilisers.

The climate of Rioja Alavesa is a transition between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean climate. The Sierra de Cantabria mountain range protects form the winds and storm from the north, creating a dry climate with large temperature variations that make it perfect for the cultivation of vines and their optimal ripening.

Luis Cañas Fermentado en Barrica is a white wine from D.O. La Rioja produced by Bodegas Luis Cañas. It is a coupage of the varieties Viura (85%) and Malvasía (15%). The grapes for Luis Cañas Fermentado en Barrica come from old vineyards that are over 50 years old. The harvest is done manually and the bunches are selected in the actual vineyard and in the winery.

Luis Cañas Fermentado en Barrica ferments for 17 days at a temperature of 19ºC. Then, it is transferred to new French oak barrels (75%) and American oak barrels (25%) to undergo the malolactic fermentation. It rests in these barrels for 3 months on its lees, resulting in a voluminous and full-bodied wine.
