Puerta Vieja Crianza is made from 80% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo and 5 % Graciano grapes cultivated in Bodegas Riojanas vineyards in Cenicero, Sonsierra and Villalba. The soils are Miocene clay-calcerous. Riojanas combine traditional methods with state-of-the-art technology in the harvesting process. Grapes are hand-harvested in October and the ancestral system of pressing whole grapes (pneumatic press and de-stalk crusher) is employed alongside up-to-date technology and equipment for the vinification process.
