“La Vicalanda” originates from a small 10.5 hectare estate owned by Bodegas Bilbainas. La Vicalanda Reserva Tempranillo, a pioneer of the "High Expression" wines, is made from a selection of the choicest grapes picked from the estate’s own vineyards. The best grapes were selected from the Cuervo 4, Vicuana and Zaco vine plots, planted using the traditional Rioja "goblet” vine training system. They are over 35 years old on average and were obtained with environmentally friendly wine-growing practices, without using pesticides, insecticides or herbicides.
