Ojo de Buitre Tempranillo

Winemaker Zuazo draws on generations of experience: his family began making wine in Rioja in 1880. The most important lesson? Subtle wood aging makes for an even fruitier and more exciting wine!

About the winemaker

"When my family built their first wine cellar in 1880, they also bought two stone wine presses: ultramodern for that time! So modern in fact that many neighbours wanted to use them too. As a result, all the grapes were pressed together and everyone came to fill their own bottles. Not only the winegrowers themselves, but also the inhabitants of the surrounding villages and, later, tourists soon stood in line with their empty bottles."

Bodegas y Viñedos Zuazo Gaston is located in the small village of Oyón, in Rioja Alavesa. This is the smallest of the three districts in the famous Rioja region. Due to the temperate climate, the southern location of almost all vineyards and the predominantly calcareous reddish clay soil with large stones, Rioja Alavesa produces wines that know how to score well. You can generally describe them as firmly fruity and round.
