About Bodegas Dinastia Vivanco
Bodegas Dinastia Vivanco produces contemporary-style Rioja wines from their estate vineyards in Briones, including a highly regarded Parcelas de Grace Tempranillo and a premium Colección Vivanco range, the winery is adjacent to the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture and shares the family's dedication to wine education.
Bodegas Dinastia Vivanco is the wine-producing arm of the Vivanco family enterprise in Briones, operating alongside the family's museum. The winery has developed a range of wines that combine respect for Rioja traditions with modern winemaking approaches: the Vivanco Crianza and Reserva wines represent excellent quality-price ratio Rioja; the Parcelas de Grace Tempranillo (from a single vineyard parcel planted in the 1960s) represents the estate's premium single-vineyard expression; and the Colección Vivanco range explores the potential of Rioja Alavesa terroir with wines that show concentrated fruit and more restrained oak influence compared to traditional Riojas. The winery offers a comprehensive tourist experience, wine tours, tastings, food pairings, the museum, that makes it one of the best single-destination wine experiences in La Rioja.
Did you know? The Rioja DOCa's new 2017 regulations created four levels of geographic designation, from broadest to most specific: 'Rioja' (regional), 'Rioja + subzone' (Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Oriental), 'Vino de Municipio' (wine from a single municipality), and 'Vino de Viñedo Singular' (wine from a single named vineyard). The introduction of the municipal and single-vineyard tiers was controversial, with some traditional houses opposed (arguing it would fragment the Rioja brand) and many younger producers in favour.
