Characteristics
Sierra Cantabria Oganza is a white wine produced by the Viñedos Sierra Cantabria winery in the Rioja region. Viñedos Sierra Cantabria is a small winery that belongs to the Sierra Cantabria group, owned by the Eguren family, also owners of the wineries Teso la Monja in Toro and Sierra Cantabria and Dominio de Eguren also in Rioja.
Sierra Cantabria Organza is a classic riojan blend white wine, containing the varieties Viura, Malvasía and Grenache Blanc. The grapes come from the wineries own vineyards situated in San Vincente de la Sonsierra, in the Rioja Alta.
The vinyards are cultivated in an ecological manner which is respectful to the environment. Infact, the Sierra Cantabria does not use chemical products, only organic fertilizers every 2 years.
The harvest is carried out manually, with the grapes being transported to the winery in small boxes of no more than 20kg, which ensure they remain in the best condition possible. On arrival at the winery, the best bunches are again selected at a selection table. The grapes then undergo cold maceration for 12 hours before being fermented in new French oak barrels from Vosgues at 14-16ºC with indigenous yeasts.
Sierra Cantabria Organza is then aged for 9 months in barrels. The wine spends the first six months on its lees, with battonages occuring every week.
It is an elegant white wine, flavourful and complex and serves as a brilliant example of barrel aged white wines in the Rioja region.
