The old Campo Viejo wine cellar, founded in 1967, has given way to the Juan Alcorta Bodega, named after its founder. A wine cellar, perhaps one of the best in the world, situated right in the heart of La Rioja in privileged lands for the growing, making and ageing of wine. Throughout the whole process, the grapes are moved by gravity, without undergoing any type of pressure which could affect the final result. This gentle, painstaking winemaking process will make it possible for us to obtain smooth, harmonious wines, with lots of concentrated fruit on the nose and in the mouth. For cask-ageing we mainly use American oak, in which the notes of vanilla predominate. With the French oak we will obtain more spicy nuances. By combining the two, we achieve aromas of great complexity: coconut, vanilla, spices, toasted wood.

Attractive stawberry red colour. A mixture of fruit aromas – strawberry, plum, blackberry – and flowers – roses, violets, etc. Really outstanding in the mouth, round and unctuous, but also with a freshness which tempts you to drink another glass.

Closure: CORK

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures. The emergence of these alternatives has grown in response to quality control efforts by winemakers to protect against "cork taint" caused by the presence of the chemical trichloroanisole (TCA).

Screw caps or "Stelvin caps" are closures made only from aluminium material that threads onto the bottleneck. They are the predominant closure used by New Zealand wineries.[8][9] This can be attributed in part to the New Zealand screw cap initiative which promotes the use of screw caps instead of cork. Screw caps form a tighter seal and can keep out oxygen for a longer time than cork. These benefits aid in maintaining the wine's overall quality and aging potential.

Vino-Seal, or Vino-Lok, is a plastic/glass closure released by Alcoa. Since its introduction into the European market in 2003, over 300 wineries have utilized Vino-Seal. Using a glass stopper with an inert o-ring, the Vino-Seal creates a hermetic seal that prevents oxidation and TCA contamination.

Zork is an alternative wine closure that seals like a screw cap and pops like a cork. The Zork closure consists of three parts; an outer cap providing a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the band of a standard cork mouth bottle, an inner metal foil which provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap, and an inner plunger which creates the ‘pop’ on extraction and reseals after use.

The traditional crowned bottle cap has been used in the sparkling wine industry as a closure during the bottle fermentation process (méthode traditionnelle). Normally the cap is replaced with a cork before shipping, though recently some producers are releasing wines using the crown cap as their closure.
