2024 · La Maldita Rioja Garnacha

Vivanco is a four-generation, family-owned producer based in Briones, Rioja, established by the Vivanco family in 1990. Its estate vineyards extend across several Rioja sites, including the notably stony Finca El Cantillo, with varieties planted according to terroir and altitude. The winery combines traditional wine culture with modern techniques, including grape sorting, temperature-controlled facilities, wooden vats for Reserva and top wines, and barrel malolactic fermentation. It produces red, rosé, white and sweet wines, including single-varietal bottlings, and forms part of the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture. Vivanco Brunes is made from organically cultivated grapes and is vegan, though producer-wide certification is not established.
