Information
Bodegas Olarra is located on the outskirts of
Logroño, right in the heart of the Denominación de Origen
Calificada Rioja and within the prestigious Rioja Alta
sub-district.
Since it was founded in 1973, Olarra has been characterized
by the beauty and complexity of its facilities, known
as the Cathedral of Rioja, with its unique 'Y' shaped
ground plan, as well as its 111 hexagonal "egg
box" domes.
This bodega has been able to combine the most modern
winemaking techniques with the traditional vinification
and ageing processes of Rioja, creating wines which
have been conceived according to strict quality standards.
In Olarra we believe that it is by taking perfect care
of the grapes that a fine wine is made, so we supervise
every detail to the maximum. In making its wines, Bodegas
Olarra only uses those berries which meet a set of strict
conditions. Currently, Olarra offers several labels
to the market and behind each of these is a wine with
its own identity. Its star wines are the red oak-aged
wines.
All in all, a wide range of wines whose quality has
been acknowledged in the world's most important contests.
