About The Wine

Malpuesto is a red wine made by Bodegas Orben in the D.O. La Rioja, at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria. Bodegas Orben belongs to the Izadi Group, a group that owns other well-known wineries such as Villacreces in the Ribera del Duero, or Vetus in the D.O. Toro.

Malpuesto is a single-varietal Tempranillo variety from Finca Malpuesto, a farm planted in 1931 and today one of the oldest vineyards in La Rioja Alavesa. Its name, Malpuesto, comes from the irregular arrangement in which the vines were planted.

The farm is located on a hillside and has an area of ​​1.2 hectares. The soil is a sandy and poor soil, which yields a low yield but of great quality.

The harvest is carried out manually in small 15 kg boxes. Once in the winery, the grapes go through strict selection before being vatted. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and very gentle pressing is applied before aging in barrels for approximately 15 months.

Malpuesto is a unique red wine from La Rioja, with character, from a very special old vineyard and with a limited production of just over 5,000 bottles.

Meet The Winemaker

Orben
Orben is one of those wineries that in the middle of the first decade of the new millennium led to the birth of the new line of modernity of La Rioja wines, applying the formula that gives a priority place to viticulture, the terroir and the vineyard, where the selection of the grape is the true protagonist of the character of its wines. The old vineyards with low production and an oenology based on the quality of the fruit, as well as the careful selection of oaks from the most accredited cooperages together with a measure of aging, have been from the beginning the best presentation cards for Orben wines. .
