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. The grapes are hand harvested, crushed and destemmed and then fermented in tank before being aged partly in American oak and partly in French oak, twelve months for the Crianza and sixteen months for Angeles de Amaren.
