Luberri Orlegi is the reference point for traditional, lighter-bodied, fruit-forward wines of Rioja Alavesa. Orlegi is produced from two estate vineyards: tempranillo from El Cuento at 415m and viura from Cuatroencias at 500m. Orlegi combines whole-cluster fermentation and standard fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel to emphasize the fruit. The resulting wine is classic, fresh, and food-friendly. A delicious tempranillo from Rioja for everyday drinking! The 2020 vintage in Rioja presented a mixed bag of diverse, highly localized weather that was good for some vineyards and bad for others. It was a vintage where vineyard selection was paramount, and being an experienced cosechero (farmer) such as Florentino Monje from Luberri was essential. Rainfall and early budding resulted in a relatively early but somewhat uneven harvest, depending on the areas. This vintage is comparable to the 2016 vintage, with highly reduced yields and above-average quality of balanced wines with moderate alcohol, good acidity, and fresh fruit.
