MASTERS OF WINE AT FINCA LA EMPERATRIZ

by | Jun 26, 2018 | Sin categoría

The whole event aimed to show part of the new geographical classification in Rioja, and the Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz project was one of those chosen. The even took place at the family’s iconic estate, Finca la Emperatriz, as well as showcasing “Las Cenizas”, the new wine from Cenicero that the family launched in 2018. As for the rest of the event, another five wineries were chosen, each of them located in a different valley of the tributaries of Ebro, as they flow into the main river which flows from West to East through Rioja.

Each of the wines put forward aimed to show the influence of the local climate in each of the valleys: Finca la Emperatriz is from the valley of the rivers Oja and Tirón, Las Cenizas from the Najerilla, Viña Ijalba from the Iregua, Paco García from the Leza, Ortega Ezquerro from the Cidacos and Ilurce from the Alhama, as well as Ramirez de Ganuza, also from Rioja Alta, but from the left bank of the river, at Sonsierra. All in all, it was a practical demonstration of the reasons why this new classification of Rioja had to be put in place.

The day ended with a dinner offered by Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz, for both the Symposium members and the wineries who had showed their wines. A fine way to end a long day, with relaxed and genial conversations on the topic of wine in general and Rioja wines in particular.
