The c.600 winery-strong region, set across the communities of La Rioja, Navarre, and the Basque province of Álava is the spiritual home of Tempranillo. At c.140km from the North coast it benefits from a real continental climate. Moderated by the Cantabiran mountains to the north the best sites, at 400-800m, are in the subregions of Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. Whites are made from Viura but these days Rioja is over 85% red. Oak aging (and choice of oak) plays a huge role, with wines made Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva all having their own distinctive styles and fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinedos Ruiz Jimenez the result of a dream come true when in 1998, Francisco Ruiz, decided to build his own winery to use the grapes he was growing, instead of selling them. All the vineyards are organically farmed in the small village of Aldeanueva de Ebro in Rioja. The idea was to offer the best quality, most terroir expressive wines that the land has to offer using only organic and sustainable parameters. This was quite a rare idea in Rioja back in 1998 but he knew that organic and biodynamic was the only way to give quality and terroir to the wines. Today they are the only organic and Demeter certified winery in Rioja. || Tasting note: \u003cspan\u003eBursting with fresh pear, apple and elderflower, with just a hint of sweetness.\u003c\/span\u003e || Winemaking Detail: The grapes are hand harvested and arrive at the winery within 4 hours, crushed and taken to INOX. 5x battonage that same day and then wait for the skins to settle. They then take the wine into another tank. As soon as they see the fermentation begin, it's bottled with a mild filtration, and then crown capped. The bottles are then put into a dark bottle container for upto 5 months until the fermentation ends, leaving a fun sparkling white wine. No sulphur added, no sugar added. || Features Effervescent Pear Apple Elderflower Candied\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruiz Jimenez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51636663746943,"sku":"RUJ1225PN","price":23.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/5530\/5356\/files\/ingeniumpetnatblanco.png?v=1767959250","url":"https:\/\/themodestmerchant.com\/products\/ruiz-jimenez-ingenium-pet-nat-blanco-2025-rioja","provider":"The Modest Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
