This family winery was founded by Luis Medrano in 1984, one year before it’s first wine came onto the market. In 2001, his son took over, bringing new ideas and starting to produce Crianza wines, white wines and independent wines (created accordingto Amador’s guidelines, and thus following the principles of maximum quantity). At Medrano Irazu they elaborate modern, elegant wines for those that are willing to experiment new sensations, and feel the perfect assemble among Vineyard and man. Initially emerged to proudly transmit the Medrano family –legacy, with the intention of becoming one of the best Rioja wineries the raw material, methods used and the care taken in all of the stages involved in the production leads us to believe that this will indeed be the case: Old native vines (more than 30 years of age) are used. Harvest of the grapes happens careful and by hand. A second subsequent ‘bunch-by-bunch’selection takes place in the winery. Contolled fermentation, frequent testing and daily tasting guarantees the quality of the wines from their very beginning.
