Bodegas Ontañón is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Rioja. For five generations, the Pérez Cueva’s family has cultivated vineyard land south of the Ebro River just outside the tiny town of Quel. Through the years they have
continued to purchase property near their original holdings on the higher-elevation slopes of the Sierra Yerga Mountains (2,600 feet above sea level) and currently have more than 800 hectares planted to vine, making them one of the top three family vineyard owners in Spain.
Contrebia Leucade (white settlement) is the name of a Celtiberian site in Rioja Oriental where the first vestiges of viticulture in our land appeared (3rd century BC). Tempranillo blanco, a unique variety, exclusively found in Rioja, merges in this wine with the most remote origins of Rioja winemaking.
Elegant and well-defined nose, featuring clean, expressive notes of fresh pineapple, ripe banana, and Reinette apple, complemented by subtle white floral hints (such as orange blossom or jasmine) that add complexity and finesse without overpowering.
100% Tempranillo Blanco
