2018 Bodegas Moraza Garnacha

Bodegas Moraza has been family-run for six generations, rooted in the historic village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja Alta, Spain. Winemaker Janire Moraza now leads the estate, having transitioned the family’s 23 hectares to certified organic and biodynamic farming. Her philosophy focuses on purity, sustainability, and minimal intervention, continuing traditional methods while embracing a new natural direction. The vineyards, planted exclusively with native varietals, sit between 400–650m above sea level, benefiting from the cool influence of the Sierra Cantabria mountains and the unique limestone-rich soils of the region. In the cellar, Janire works only with concrete and indigenous yeasts, fermenting with gravity flow and no oak, allowing the fruit and terroir to speak clearly. Moraza is a modern Rioja story grounded in vibrant tradition.
