Bikandi Ecologico Crianza is an organic Tempranillo wine from Rioja. The vines grow in a cool high-altitude area in calcareous alluvial soil. The vineyards are strictly kept under ecological agricultural methods in a natural environment without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Bikandi grapes are hand harvested during the first weeks of October. After fermentation, Viña Olabarri’s winemaker- Fernando Salgado, aged the wine for more than 14 months in 225 litre French oak barrels. This ensures a fruit-forward wine that is elegant, fresh, spicy and nuanced which integrates the oak character perfectly with the dark cherry fruit, vanilla and chocolate that shows on tasting. It is ideal with tapas or any grilled dish.

I designed this wine when my father passed away. The pain was so strong that I had to quench this feeling of my heart. An artist paints a picture, I make wines. I woke up one day with a feeling of peace, singing this well-known song by Spanish rock singer. The cure was tolerance. People live their lives as best they can. I had to accept the way my father choosed to live and die, and also I had to accept the way I had chosen to live, without censoring myself.
I thought this feeling it was like a fight between two grapes, Bobal and Syrah. The acidity and tannin of the Bobal versus the smoothness and power of the Syrah. And the result is an elegant and complex wine with a lot to discover in its sequential steps.
This wine has been identified as one of the best Bobal wine of the world by the experts. (Jancis Robinson).
This original coupage is a mix of Verdejo and Viognier, two power grapes that nobody has had the audacity to work with them in the same bottle. This wine has obtained bronze medal in Valencia region and gold medal in the ecological competition of wines of Valencia. Peñín has given it 90 points and has invited us repeatedly for the Best Wines of Spain Fair.
This wine represents the risk, the audacity, the will to live. That is why these two grapes make this wine so original, and surprising. The terroir is also a determinant factor for XTMO. Mineral, floral and with an enormous complexity that is more typical in a red wine, but very weird and unique in a white one.
The purest expression of the Syrah grape variety. This wine opens with notes of great fruity intensity carried by a subtle woodiness. The attack is supple, elegant and enhanced by fine tannins, the mouth seduces by its crisp and ample side.

EL VOL DE L’ALIGA RED is our latest proposal, and it belongs to a series of exclusive microvinifications, made with special attention to small details.
We try to express through the wines, our close connection with the territory in which we develop our work daily. That’s why Vol de l’Aliga is inspired on the majestic flight of the Bonelli’s eagle that nests on the forest surrounding our winery.
EL VOL DE L’ALIGA RED is a red wine made from Grenache and Carignan. It’s been aged for five months in amphorae. It’s a fruit-driven wine, juicy and with ripe tannins.
It’s the first organic wine from Viticultors del Priorat, the evidence of our commitment with the magic environment in which we coexist within.
EL VOL DE L’ALIGA WHITE is made as a single variety wine, from the most representative of the white vari¬eties in Priorat, white Grenache.
In this case when the alcoholic fermentation
(in stainless steel) is almost finished, part of the wine is racked into Amphora vessels for six months; that increases the complexity of the wine and creates a round texture, all that, together with the subtle aromas of the white Grenache, turn out a great wine.
