Bodegas Solar de Samaniego, with a history of more than half a century, is located right below the medieval town of Laguardia, in the D.O.Ca. Rioja. To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the winery carried out a complete recovery of all winemaking, ageing cellar and wine tourism areas, reinforcing the winemaking and fining of our wines in concrete tanks, which were prepared with an excellent coating and a modern temperature control system.

A “house style” was conceived for the wines by obtaining a great fruit concentration and silky tannins, thanks to the slow polymerization provided by this traditional material.

The family owns 88 hectares of vineyards located in plots near the winery, framed in the subzone “Rioja Alavesa” (D.O.Ca. Rioja). The wines born from the estates of Solar de Samaniego, are the reflection of the viticultural tradition in the region, with vines aged 30 to 40 years, settled in these elegant clayey-calcareous soils, all in high altitude and facing west.

The primary variety is the Tempranillo grape, accompanied by Graciano and Red Maturana grapes, these two used mainly in assemblages.
