About this winery

Vivanco Winery is located in Briones, a privileged enclave in La Rioja Alta, on the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria and on the banks of the River Ebro. It is an area with a mild microclimate and extraordinary chalky-clay soils. Around the winery we find the Finca El Cantillo, whose name comes from the large number of boulders found on the ground. Tempranillo is the fundamental variety, but not the only one. In this vineyard we can also find other grape varieties that we use in our wines:...

Production notes

Vivanco Brunes is an organic, vegan Vino de Municipio that recovers the tradition of the Vinos de Pueblo brought up to date with the personal vision of Rafael Vivanco and his team. It is made with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Maturana Tinta from two of the Vivanco family's own vineyards in this particular terroir.

Tasting notes

The grapes were picked manually, in Tempranillo, and the second week for the Maturana Tinta. A part of the wine remains 12 months in French oak barrels, while the other part remains in concrete and stainless-steel tanks in the bottle racks for at least nine months.
