Jenny Siddall, our Wine Guide has made her selection for a rainy day.   ” Here is a photo of Bodegas Baigorri, designed by Iñaki Aspiazu Iza in Rioja Alavesa.  It is the perfect place to visit on a rainy day!”   Trust in her expert standard.

As it own architect says: “After a long period of study and joint project design by developer Jesús Baigorri and architect Iñaki Aspiazu, the project was executed following criteria aimed at achieving product quality above all: returning to traditional systems; recovering gravity as the main ally to avoid use of pumps, ducts, and other machinery which might damage the grapes; and maintaining the selected grapes in perfect state for fermentation.

This crystal glass lantern is covered in zinc, which provides a single focus of attention and reference. It is grounded on concrete walls covered in wooden boards that rise out of the ground, protecting it from sun exposure.”
