In 1964, in the town of Elvillar de Álava, one of the most elevations of the Rioja Alavesa, the Meruelo family created Bodegas Baroja estate. The winery was built with a single purpose in mind: converting high-quality Tempranillo grapes into classic expressions of elegant Rioja wine. From vineyards at more than 600 meters above sea level, which arise from a mixture of clay and limestone, its grapes reach the perfect balance of ripeness and acidity thanks to the oscillations temperature extremes between day and night, of 20 degrees or more during the grape ripening season. The control of the temperature, stainless steel tanks with a capacity of between 12,000 and 30,000 kilos and exhaustive control in each phase... everything is
aimed at ensuring the quality and character that reside in these
unique vines and are manifested in each bottle of Heredad de Baroja
