Bodegas Sonsierra targets export markets for its boutique Rioja

Bodegas Sonsierra targets export markets for its boutique Rioja
  • Tony
  • Wed 04 Dec 2024

Founded in 1962, when 240 grape growers joined forces in the Rioja Alta, Bodegas Sonsierra has considerable expertise and a reputation in its homeland maintained over generations. However, the winery is increasingly looking beyond Spain. Through a combination of personnel changes, winery upgrades and new regulations from Rioja DOCa, Bodegas Sonsierra is developing its international ambitions.

Its most direct work in raising its export profile has been in making strategic hires. Luis del Aguila joined as CEO in 2023. He brought a background of sales in the US, as well as 12 years of experience as export manager at La Rioja Alta SA. Pilar Lorenzo later joined Bodegas Sonsierra, aiding it in hitting new markets as export manager.

Moreover, Bodegas Sonsierra is collaborating with agencies and consultancies in key target markets. Those on-the-ground partners are leveraging their country-specific knowledge to spread the word.

Although Bodegas Sonsierra has decades of experience, its wines are also benefitting from a recent revamp. In 2017, it opened a cutting-edge winery, connected by a tunnel to the historic property.

The new facilities combine small fermentation vessels – sometimes just 500 litres – and innovative technology. This includes a pump-free remontage system that recycles carbon dioxide from fermentation. With such precise, boutique winemaking, the winery has become the centre for small-batch production: the Viñedos de Sonsierra range.

These bottlings include small batches made from high elevation and old vine plots around the town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The range also features Perfume de Sonsierra, an old vine label in a bottle created by the late fashion designer David Delfin.

Of particular note in the collection are the four Viñedos Singulares. Since 2017, Rioja DOCa has allowed these single-vineyard bottlings. With access to nine such designated plots, Bodegas Sonsierra has the most of any producer in the Rioja Alta area.

Both the vineyards and wines must meet stringent criteria. The vines must be at least 35 years old from a vineyard selected by the Consejo Regulador for its quality. The wines, meanwhile, must use hand-harvested grapes, be made in a single winery and pass a tasting panel. The new winery is therefore ideal for meeting such exacting standards – as well as for capitalising on interest in the new premium category.
