Bodegas Sonsierra was born in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the heart of a region with unique characteristics for vine growing, where the Tempranillo grape finds its perfect environment. In 1962, more than 240 vine growers decided to pool their 430 hectares of vineyards to realize an old dream of farmers in the village: the creation of a cooperative in which they produce their own wines. Today Mindiarte is one of several labels produced in this spirit by the cooperative.
Planting occupies a wide variety of different terrain: from the foothills of the Cantabrian Mountains at an altitude of 770 metres, to the rolling terraces of the lowlands near the River Ebro, at an altitude of just 420 metres. This diversity is an exceptional legacy handed down to us from our forebears, which we take great pains to tend and protect.
Sonsierra is in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and is part of the municipality in the Spanish La Rioja region. Sonsierra means "from under the Sierra" - implying: "protected by the mountain range".
Bodegas Sonsierra's wines are amongst the most prestigious Rioja wines, fine and aromatic in their youth, well balanced and with a delicate bouquet once aged. They are wines with a unique personality, with the unmistakable character of a historical area dedicated to wine.
The climate is Mediterranean although Rioja Alta Comarca is a little wetter than Rioja Baja. Temperatures range from 11.8°C – 31.8°C and rainfall between 300 mm - 600 mm per annum. In winter the Cierzo wind blows constantly over the La Rioja region.
Contains: sulphites.
This wine is a pale yellow in colour. There is white fruit aroma (pear and banana) with a soft floral hint. The palate is very tasty and balanced with a very integrated fresh acidity. The aftertaste is pleasant and subtle.
