Targa
Targa operates in Rioja, Spain's most celebrated wine region, where continental climate and limestone-rich soils shape wines of structure and precision. The winery focuses on distinctive expressions of local varieties. Its Graciano—a dark-skinned grape native to the region—achieves notable depth and complexity. Equally compelling are two white wines: Blanco Barrica Viñas Viejas, made from Tempranillo Blanco and aged in barrel, and Garnacha Blanca, the white counterpart to Rioja's famous red. Both whites demonstrate the mineral character and aging potential that distinguish quality Rioja production. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have assessed the winery's output, recognizing the technical merit of these bottlings. Targa's portfolio reflects a commitment to both traditional Rioja varieties and the region's lesser-known cultivars, offering a window into Rioja's full aromatic and textural range.
