Torre de Oña
Terroir, serenity, elegance, uniqueness...
These are the terms that define the identity of the Torre de Oña winery. They are concepts that have coalesced together since 1995, when La Rioja Alta, S.A. led this exciting project with the aim of making a wine of excellent quality incorporating the unmistakable personality of one of the best terroirs in the renowned Rioja Alavesa zone. We were convinced that, just like the great châteaux, it was a unique location with an undeniable potential for making a great, modern wine, capable of conveying the exclusive features of a privileged estate.
Since then, we have unceasingly sought to continuously improve the quality of our wine, bringing about significant changes in both our vineyards and our winery. However, it is during the last few years, particularly since 2005, that we have devoted a great deal of attention to studying the different plots on this estate. We characterised the land and divided it into various subplots and we made and aged the wines from each subplot separately. We identified the best quality grapes and we only vinify those harvests with the quality required by great wines of international scope. This gave rise to our Finca Martelo and Finca San Martín wines, as well as the wine for our Club de Cosecheros.
Finca Martelo & the #Martelosophy
This wine may be the newcomer to the Torre de Oña winery, yet it has very quickly captured everyone's hearts. Discover everything about Finca Martelo and the #Martelosophy on their bespoke website.
We are launching a new modernization project to strengthen quality, efficiency, and parcel-based winemaking
At Bodegas Torre de Oña, over the past few months we have carried out a series of strategic investments aimed at modernizing our facilities, improving energy efficiency, and strengthening our winemaking model based on the identity of our vineyards. These initiatives reinforce our commitment to innovation, respect for origin, and the constant pursuit of winemaking excellence. Among them, the replacement of our bottling machine stands out, with a new state-of-the-art IE3-rated system that allows us to significantly reduce energy consumption and improve process performance, contributing to greater wine quality and stability.
In addition, we have developed a new tank hall dedicated to the vinification of grapes from artisanal vineyards over 50 years old.
This new space incorporates 10 stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 6,000 liters each, designed to enable more precise, parcel-based vinification while preserving the uniqueness of each vineyard origin. At the same time, we have integrated these tanks into our existing control system, allowing us to monitor multiple variables of the winemaking process in real time, facilitating more efficient management, early detection of incidents, and faster, better-informed decision-making.
Thanks to these initiatives, Torre de Oña is strengthening its production capacity, advancing toward greater energy efficiency, and consolidating a more precise, sustainable winemaking approach tailored to the expression of our most distinctive vineyards.
