20 years ago we started the Aalto project, and to celebrate this anniversary we have selected some barrels from different estates and vintages which we consider to be special and with a longer storage capacity: 450 bottles of a unique wine.
20 YEARS OF WINERY
THE HISTORY OF A SPECIAL EDITION
The project started in 1999 in a small building in Roa (Burgos) and later on, in 2005, we moved to our current facilities located in Quintanilla de Arriba (Valladolid).
During all these years our winemaking philosophy has been the same since the very beginning: to create full of emotion and trendy wines with a complexity derived from more than 200 controlled Tempranillo plots together with the contribution of the old vineyards and the great work of our winemaker and technical director Mariano García.
The idea of making this XX Anniversary wine, as well as its design, has a very curious history behind that started at the end of 2018 when an executive from Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland) came to visit our winery.
The collaboration with this recognized and important university, which is ranked among the 10 best universities on Art and Design worldwide, emerged during the wine tasting. The idea was to design a packaging for this XX Anniversary wine. We were looking for something very special that could be considered ‘’a small artwork’’ and it could symbolize our passion for land but without renouncing the modernity and design that characterize both the university and our winery.
For the special label of this wine we have chosen a fine metal: gold, and the result is a very different label from the usual ones in white, black, and silver used for our wines.
Only 450 bottles have been produced in a 3-litre format. They come from 6 selected barrels of different vintages. These barrels have been kept and well cared in our wine cellar for the last years and have been finally assembled following Mariano García’s guidelines.
An iconic bottle for collectors who love wine and art.
THE WINE
XX ANNIVERSARY
The 2016 vintage was characterized by an atypical warm weather, very different from the continental weather we used to have in this region. This fact gave our wines a magnificent complexity.
Due to droughts and frosts the 2017 vintage production was drastically reduced throughout Ribera del Duero. Even so, and thanks to a great job at the vineyards and at the winery, we made a great vintage and a fruity and expressive wine.
Finally, 2018 brought the perfect harvest with optimal weather conditions that led to an excellent ripening of the grapes.
We assembled these 6 barrels in late October 2020 to create our XX Anniversary wine.
