Winemaking Notes: Grapes for Riojanas 'Canchales' are sourced from 35-55 year old vineyards around Cenicero (Rioja Alta). Classic vinification with stemmed, crushed grapes using state-of-the art techniques and whole grape fermentation in open vats. Joven style with only brief aging in tank.

About the Name: 'Canchales' is a nickname. Back in the 40's, one of the winery’s distributors in Madrid, was crazy about Jai-Alai. He suggested a new wine called Canchales, as "Cancha" means court.
