ARCHITECTURE

A building that adapts to the existing topography and harmoniously develops its entire program under the surface. A place where you can contemplate how the whole process of winemaking takes place. Bodegas BAIGORRI has been designed and built by the architect Iñaki Aspiazu. Creation directed to the peculiar way of elaboration of our wines and reference of the architecture in the landscape respecting the environment where it is located.

 

GRAVITY

The gravity acquires all the protagonism in our winery, allowing the grapes to arrive whole to the fermentation developing the whole process in a vertical way, being all the movements of grape or wine by gravity, avoiding any type of mechanical lift.There is no reception hopper and no pumps are used to move the grapes or to remount the deposits that could damage it, from the selection tables to the bottling along the different underground floors of the winery, thus optimizing all the phases of the process.The new French oak barrels are responsible for making the aging and give our wines that balanced point of wood and fruit.Giving the wine its maximum expression is our only wish. 


VINEYARDS

BAIGORRI makes a strong selection in the field of its vineyards. Applies rigorous selection processes fruit of their knowledge and the annual observation of their vineyards. The grapes of our wines come from a sustainable crop, in harmony with nature, from the use of traditional and modern means. They grow in old vines, deeply rooted in our land and our culture, and give us a unique quality. They are harvested by hand and processed in the most delicate way possible, to transform the genuine flavor of that same Nature into wine. The high quality of our wines ultimately emanates from the vineyard itself and is but a true reflection of the soil, climate and tradition of the Rioja Alavesa.
