RIOJA, SPAIN
92 POINTS: "Ripe plums, juicy dark berries, and balsamic lift from the glass, carrying into flavors of spiced coffee and a savory finish. Flavor concentration and energizing acidity carry into a long finish revealing further complexity as the wine opens to air. Built to serve a meal and keep the palate watering." — Elaine Chukan Brown, Wine Enthusiast
 
The search for ever more balanced and healthy wines is one of the keys of Ontañón Natura, a tempranillo varietal wine which springs from three of our most emblematic vineyards in the Sierra de Yerga and for which we have  completely eliminated the use of sulphites both in the viticulture and during its winemaking process. As Rubén Pérez Cuevas, Ontañón oenologist explains, the idea of this wine comes from the concern to offer healthier wines and with minimal intervention.
“It does not contain sulphites, but it is full of emotions”, he adds. Rubén stresses the origin of the grapes for making Ontañón Natura: “We looked for the most intimate nature of the wine and we go in search of the most remote vines in Rioja. We climb to a height of eight hundred metres in Yerga, where we can find absolutely unique spaces for tempranillo and extreme for the more rational, natural viticulture, that is why we have called it Ontañón Natura, because it is pure nature”.
