What singularities does this place have to produce such high-quality wines?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It is a special area due to the orography of the terrain. It is made up of sloping land with different sun exposures, a rich typicity of a chalky soil, and the Cantabrian Mountains as its natural backdrop that protects it from the humidity and cold of the north. Our ancestors were able to appreciate this unique idiosyncrasy of a very specific place in Rioja Alavesa, hence the traditional prestige of this area. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Only three vintages of Finca Martelo have been produced since 2012. What is the process of deciding whether or not there is a Finca Martelo vintage? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The process begins in the vineyard, by delimiting the best quality plot each year (Torre de O\u00f1a\u2019s 45ha of vineyards are divided into individual plots). The harvest is always carried out by hand in small crates. At the winery, the fruit is selected by an optical sorting machine, which uses lasers to individually analyse hundreds of berries per second. We also have the best fermentation tanks. And then comes the ageing in barrels. Absolutely everything is focused on the vintage offering a Finca Martelo, but the profile we are looking for is difficult to achieve year after year. We are very demanding and this only allows us to enjoy it in outstanding vintages.<\/p>\n<p><b>Finca Martelo 2015 is already available in the United Kingdom and soon to be too in Spain and the rest of the world. It launched with a Parker 94+. What is the secret to improving vintage after vintage?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Focusing all the work from the vineyard itself, it is an estate wine by nature. And then in the winery, by respecting the vineyard\u00b4s expression, always aiming for the next vintage to be better than the previous one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4.jpg\" alt=\"Alejandro L\u00f3pez en\u00f3logo de Torre de O\u00f1a\" width=\"1335\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4.jpg 1335w, https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.fincamartelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/www.fincamartelo.com-alejandro-lopez-enologo-de-torre-de-ona-creamos-vinos-que-expresan-nuestro-entorno-y-paisaje-alejandro-4-1200x1798.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1335px) 100vw, 1335px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>In 2018 you were chosen one of the \u201cTop 10 Best Revelation Winemakers\u201d in Spain by <i>Decanter<\/i> magazine.
