About Valtoñar
Valtoñar is a small winery in northern Spain located in the town of Anguix (Burgos) in the heart of the Ribera del Duero.
The winery was founded in 2000 by the Rioja López family, whose family’s wine-growing tradition dates back to the 16th century.
Valtoñar only makes wines with grapes produced on their own vineyards. They work with several varietals including: Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Albillo Mayor.
Valtoñar’s philosophy is to respect their raw materials as much as possible. The grapes really are the cementing basis for their whole operation.
This same philosophy for respecting what nature gives them shines through in their winemaking as well. Proof of this is how they use indigenous yeast in their fermentation process. This yeast comes directly from their vineyards and is found within the grapes. This results in authentic and incomparable wines that are true to their origin.
About your tasting host: Alfonso Rioja López
For Alfonso, wineries and the world of wine is something that he has lived with his whole life. His parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and ancestors have always had vineyards. This has exposed him to the responsibilities and life of a winery by performing and watching all of the work that it takes to maintain them.
This is what also led him to study Agricultural Technical Engineering and later obtain a postgraduate degree in oenology. His studies along with his lifelong experiences give him a very intimate and personal vision for his wines.
