Rioja is the oldest Designation of Origin for Spanish wine and the one with the greatest worldwide renown. The extraordinary geographical and climatic conditions for growing vines have made this a traditional crop in the area since Roman times. The crossing of the region by the Pilgrims’ route to Compostela and the great historical and artistic heritage and rich landscape have intertwined with the area’s traditional winemaking culture to shape a district with a very special appeal. In this sphere, Maetierra Dominum is a notable figure among the new Great Rioja “Signature” Wines, a trend which is taking Rioja wines to new heights of quality and acknowledgement.
