History

Bodegas Baigorri was founded in 1996 with the first vintage in 2002. Absolutely no expense was spared to create a winery that is also a major architectural statement.

Bodegas Baigorri returns winemaking to its origins in a state-of-the-art facility that is as much a work of art as the wines it creates. Built around the winemaking process, an ele- gant glass structure emerges from the soil and welcomes the visitor with a stunning dis- play of the surrounding vineyards, emphasising that it is here where the process begins.

Baigorri then dives more than 30 metres below the surface and relies on gravity to drive the fruit and must through its evolution towards world-class wine. The absence of hoppers, pumps or mechanical methods of any kind ensures that the individually select- ed grapes and the resulting wine are insulated from any potential damage. The result of this combination of careful vine management, rigorous selection and innovative architecture is a collection of well rounded, modern wines with a distinct personality.

Vineyards

Baigorri executes a meticulous selection on his vineyards. We apply a rigorous selection process, fruit of our know-how and the annual observation of the vineyards. The grapes for our wines come from a sustainable growing, in harmony with the nature, thanks to the use of traditional and modern ways. They are grown in old vines, deeply rooted in our native land and culture, providing us with a unique quality. They are harvested by hand and processed in a very smooth way, in order to turn the genuine flavour of Nature into wine. The high quality of our wines come directly from the vineyard and it is clear reflection of the soil, the climate and the tradition of the Rioja Alavesa.

Winemaking

Bodegas Baigorri have an extremely innovative and contemporary philosophy. Rigorous grape sorting is followed by a winemaking process aiming to avoid oxidation and excessive oak and maximise fruit expression (the opposite of historical Spanish winemaking). Unique cone fermenters provide excellent skin contact before maturation in new, one and two year oak for a relatively short time (12 – 18 months) before extended maturation in bottle.

The gravity attained all the prominent in our winery,allowing the grapes to be fermented completely intact, with all movements of grapes and wine done by gravity, avoiding the use of mechanical methods of any kind.

There are no reception hoppers or pumps to move the grapes or pump them over in the tanks. Right from the selection tables to the bottling line through to the winery’s different underground levels, all phases of production are optimised.
