Bodegas Alavesas

Bodegas Alavesas produces Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja, Spain's premier red wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on two expressions: Solar de Samaniego Tinto, a core offering that balances the variety's dark fruit and structured tannins, and Solar de Samaniego Reserva Especial, a more concentrated interpretation that reflects extended aging in oak. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator. Rioja's continental climate and alluvial soils favor Tempranillo's ripening, yielding wines with the region's characteristic blend of power and finesse. Bodegas Alavesas's focus on this single varietal allows the terroir and winemaking choices to shape the character of each release.
