✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic cellars of Marqués de Riscal, a pioneer that revolutionized Rioja winemaking in 1858 by introducing Bordeaux techniques, Viña Collada represents a vibrant, contemporary expression of the region. Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo grown in the clay-limestone soils of Rioja Alavesa, this wine benefit from the protective microclimate of the Sierra de Cantabria. Unlike its heavily-aged siblings, Viña Collada is styled for immediate accessibility and fruit purity, undergoing a brief period of oak aging to soften its structure while preserving bright cherry aromas, subtle spice, and the easy-drinking charm that defines modern everyday Rioja.
