Jon Peñagarikano Akutain, the second-generation owner of Bodegas Akutain, is making some of our favorite, classicly styled Riojas. Everything at the esate is traditional: hand-harvesting from six hectares of estate vineyards, fermentation with natural yeasts and without temperature control, and aging (with racking) in used American oak barrels. The grapes used to make the Crianza are sourced from two plots: Gembres (their highest in altitude, planted in 1986) and La Manzanera (the bodega's first vineyard, planted in 1975).
