Bodegas Patrocinio Sancho Garces Rioja Crianza 2020

2020 Sancho Garcés Crianza Rioja. A sumptuous, opulent, barrel-aged, 100% tempranillo made from the regions finest vineyards in the heart of La Rioja Alta.

There are ethereal aromas of wild-strawberry fruit on the nose with a sensual, sweet and savoury fruit character on the palate, and subtle, smoky vanilla notes, polished texture, and the spicy nuances of a well-aged Rioja.

Bodegas Patrocinio winery is the driving force behind Uruñuela, a town of 967 residents uniquely positioned in the heart of the Rioja Alta. They started out as 200 grape growers with small vineyards in Uruñuela, who in 1985 decided to join forces to produce and market their own wines. This marked the birth of our exemplary cooperative, Bodegas Patrocinio. At Bodegas Patrocinio, as a cooperative, they have a huge responsibility to their families, town, La Rioja, and Spanish wine in general.

Respecting the environment and natural resources. Wine, by its very nature, necessitates the development of a sustainable model ensuring the utmost respect for its environment. Year after year, they work with two objectives in mind:
Keeping their intervention in the vineyard and winery to a minimum so that the wine reflects its origin.
Reducing their carbon footprint as much as possible

The greatest heritage and origin of the character of their wines is the incredible Bodegas Patrocinio vineyard. With an area of 525 hectares, they have a wide array of soil types, varieties, average ages and microclimates at their disposal, providing them with various canvases for growing classic varieties of Rioja. This enables them to produce different styles of wines, all with the distinctive Riojan character, and above all replicate the results year after year, since the grapes originate from the same area.
They spent four years studying the soil in their plantations as part of a joint research project with the Centre for Research and Technological Development of Agri-food (CIDA), which reports to the Directorate-General of Quality, Research and Rural Development of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development of La Rioja. This gave them one of the most accurate soil maps in La Rioja.
