Bodegas Tritium

Bodegas Tritium has eight hectares of vines, aged between 90 and 113 years. These are estates that never participated in the two major mass uprootings in La Rioja.

The Tritium estates are located on soils (clay-limestone, clay-iron, and alluvial), as well as in a microclimate (vineyard orientation, wind protection, etc.), which give the wines unique characteristics and allow, depending on the varieties and cultivation techniques we apply, to produce wines with a distinct personality within a perfectly recognizable common identity.

Through an appropriate aging process, in which oak wood plays a decisive role, the Rioja wine undergoes a favorable evolution that enhances its virtues and imparts new aromatic and flavor characteristics.
