Balcón de Pilatos
Valdemar Family Vineyards

The Maturana variety, unique to Rioja, almost became extinct between 1920-1930 due to phylloxera plagues. Valdemar decided to invest in this grape variety in 2001, recovering 35 vines from a century-old vineyard and seeking the perfect place to relaunch its cultivation. After several tests and analyses, the estate chosen was Balcón de Pilatos.
Spread over three terraces with a view of Oyón, Logroño and the Sierra de Cantabria, it is located 500 meters above sea level and offers the ideal climate and soil conditions to grow this variety, which is still a minority variety and which produces wines with strong character.
