La Sorda Graciano DOC Rioja Alavesa Description
Vinergia
Vinergia was founded in 2005 with the aim of uniting the efforts of small and medium-sized Spanish wineries and distributors across the world. By understanding the key elements of each grape variety, region and also the requirements and idiosyncrasies of each market, we have come to develop wines of excellent quality with great stories to tell.
La Sorda
Located in the village of Lapuebla de Labarca, perhaps the warmest area of Rioja Alavesa.
As with many small family wineries, Loli and Jesús Alvarez own several pieces of vineyard in and around their home village of Lapuebla de Labarca. Each of these pieces of vineyard has its own curious history and each has its own name, which may have a geographical or social origin. La Sorda means ‘the deaf woman’ and this small plot of vineyard once belonged to an aunt who was a little hard of hearing!
