Solana de Ramírez

Rioja Tempranillo and oak-aged whites with prestige critic recognition.

Solana de Ramírez operates in Rioja, Spain's most celebrated wine region, where Tempranillo commands the landscape and tradition shapes every vintage. The winery's portfolio centers on Tempranillo-based expressions: the Valsarte Vendimia Seleccionada and Valsarte Reserva both demonstrate the grape's capacity for structure and depth in this terroir. A white wine, the Valsarte Blanco Fermentado en Barrica, blends Malvasia, Viura, Sauvignon Blanc, and Verdejo—a composition that marries local varieties with international aromatics, aged in oak to add texture and complexity. Wine Spectator and Decanter have rated across the portfolio, with the Vendimia Seleccionada, Blanco Fermentado en Barrica, and Reserva each earning 91-point assessments. The winery's approach balances Rioja's classical language with a willingness to explore white-wine expression beyond the region's traditional red focus.
