About this product +

Producer >

Founded in 1995 as a tribute to Angeles, Juan Luis Cañas’ mother, this 52 hectare property is located in the town of Valbuena in the Rioja Alavesa. Angeles was known as a tireless worker who devoted her life to the vineyard and working alongside her husband Luis. The estate is planted with old vines (30-60 years old) of Graciano, Tempranillo, Garnacha, Viura and Malvasia on slopes at between 450-600 metres above sea level.
