Wine information: Bodegas Urbina is a small, traditional and
family-owned Rioja wine estate. This single estate is located in Cuzcurrita de
Rio Tiron on the north-western boundary of DOC Rioja. Urbina has 75 hectares of
vineyards at two main vineyard sites - the first site is at Cuzcurrita de Rio
Turon, an area well-known for producing Riojas capable of ageing for many years
ideal for Gran Reservas. The other vineyards are located at Uruñuela, in the
heart of the Rioja DOC, which consistently produces wines of great quality and
body. Four generations of the Urbina family had dedicated themselves to
producing Rioja wines and, following in his father’s footsteps, Pedro Urbina is
the current wine-maker. In 1976 the family took the decision to bottle and age
all the wine made themselves, rather than selling grapes to other wine
producers, and the single estate Urbina Rioja wines were created. Since then
Urbina has gone from strength to strength. A new winery was designed and built
by the Urbina family at Cuzcurrita in 1986 and there has been a large
investment in modern equipment, stainless steel tanks and a bottling plant.
Bodegas Urbina produces Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva and white and rosé
wine, all made from grapes sourced from their own vineyards. The vineyards are
cultivated using traditional methods, harvesting is by hand and there is
little, or no, use of weed killers and pesticides. Additionally all fertilizer
used is organic. Only local / indigenous yeasts are used in the wine-making
process which help to give Urbina wines their unique personality. This white
Rioja is made from 100% Viura grapes.
