It was in 1998 that a group of businessmen related to the world of wine decided to create a new winery. This new bodega emerges with the idea of producing quality wines at a reasonable price.
At first the bodega is settled to produce reserva wines and gran reserva wines, since reserva is the wine that traditional winemakers used to keep for their best visits.
Located in Fuenmayor (Rioja Alta), Bodegas Altanza was built in a 35.000 m2 area leaving 10.000 m2 for a magnificent French garden.
Its goal has always been and is to offer quality wine at a reasonable price, combining the best of the tradition inherent to a world renowned wine region with all the possibilities technology offers now: the goal is to make the most of a characteristic grape like the Tempranillo.
Tradition, because noble and traditional materials as wood, stones and solid bricks have been used when designing and building Bodegas Altanza.
We maintain a vertical pressing method when making the wine; as well as the choice of the autochthonous variety as the only one when making our wines. Remarkable is the fact of getting the wooden vats back in order to produce high quality wines.
Modernity, because inside Bodegas Altanza we will find the latest technologies in the wine making process. The bottlle and barrel room both count with a climate and humidity control system.
