Rioja D.O.Q, Spain

THE WINERY

​​

Viña Salceda is located by the Ebro River in Elciego, one of the most iconic villages in Rioja Alavesa. With a winemaking legacy of over 50 years, the winery is now entering a new and exciting phase under the guidance of renowned oenologist David González. This new chapter embraces a renewed focus on terroir, crafting contemporary wines that reflect the richness and diversity of Rioja’s most exceptional subzones.

​

Our nearly 250 acres of vineyards of sustainable viticulture are spread across distinctive areas, particularly Sonsierra and Alto Najerilla, in the southwest of Rioja. These regions offer a remarkable mix of soil types, altitudes, climates, and grape varieties. 

​

The vineyard’s elevations range from 1700 to 2300 feet above sea level, with vines over 110 years old. The continental climate contributes to wines with outstanding freshness and vibrant acidity. Viña Salceda is proud to blend the depth of Rioja’s winemaking history.

 

“Today we are seeking a profile of wines that are recognized for their aromatic clarity, precision, and balance between alcohol, acidity, and tannicity, expressing the place they come from with total clarity.”
