Bodegas Altanza is a family-driven winery in Fuenmayor, Rioja Alta, founded in 1998 from a shared dream to make authentic, modern Rioja centered on estate-grown Tempranillo and French oak. Its Valvarés estate is divided into multiple parcels with varied clay, limestone, and saline soils and microclimates, supporting expressive wines with aging potential. Winemaker Carlos Ferreiro oversees the wines with a strong focus on vineyard control, terroir, sustainability, and respect for Rioja tradition. The winery emphasizes precision viticulture, responsible water management, renewable energy, recyclable packaging, and vegan winemaking. Its style is polished, round, elegant, and approachable, with Tempranillo-based reds produced in Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva styles.
