The futuristic winery is located within the village of Samaniego and at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria mountains. The glass box of Bodegas BAIGORRI stands perfectly integrated into its surroundings, standing proud in Rioja Alavesa.

The grapes for BAIGORRI wines are grown according to sustainable agriculture methods, using both traditional and modern techniques. The area around Samaniego is known for its old vineyards planted on terraces or small plots which produce some of the best expressions of Tempranillo. Many of the BAIGORRI vineyards lie at higher altitudes and are populated with traditional bush vines.

Once the grapes are ready, they are picked by hand and vinified in the most delicate way possible. Sorting is done by hand. The whole process of moving the grapes around the winery is done by gravity, in a vertical process, to preserve the integrity of the grapes as much as possible, so they reach the fermentation intact. There is no pumping of the grapes and no kind of mechanical lifting.

However, the high quality of Baigorri wines comes ultimately from the vineyard itself and is nothing but the faithful reflection of the soil, climate and tradition of Rioja Alavesa.
