General information
In the last 20 years, more than 100,000 hectares of the Garnacha variety have been uprooted in Spain. In the Rioja Qualified Denomination of Origin, Grenache has gone from assuming 39% of the total vineyard in 1973 to 8% in 2015.
For the first time in history, we will be able to enjoy six wines made with the Garnacha variety, from six unique vineyards, with ages close to 100 years, which have been selected for their special characteristics of orientation, exposure and type of soil . We are talking about historic, unrepeatable vineyards, cultivated by more than three generations of "heroic" winemakers who have decided to maintain the cultivation of these vineyards despite their zero economic profitability. We have in our hands the wine-growing history of Rioja expressed through the terroir, that mixture of soil and climate, which is the essence of great wines.
In this case we are faced with the same variety, the same production system (fermentation in 500-liter barrels), the same aging (eleven months in French Troncais oak), the same wine-growing area (Alto Valle del Najerilla, one of the coldest areas of Rioja) and a single variable: the terroir.
The grapes of six winegrowers have been made, only 600 bottles of each, due to their low production
Tasting Notes Peña El Gato Natural
On the nose there is a delicious and fresh raspberry and strawberry aroma. In the mouth it is very complex and has pleasant silky and elegant tannins that combined with good acidity make it appetizing and persistent and with a long finish. A totally natural wine with a low production and worth trying

The grapes come from the oldest vineyards between 80 and 100 years old from the “Cuesta la Reina” estate owned by the family for four generations. The manual harvest was carried out in the month of October. No pumping system was used in the process, only gravity to avoid damaging the fruit.
The fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts from the vineyard itself, controlling the temperature at 30ºC. The total duration of the maceration was 32 days. Once uncovered, the wine was transferred to French Allier and Romanian oak barrels, where it was racked 5 times. It was bottled in June (2 years later), remaining in the bottle for 12 months before being put on sale.

The grapes come from the “Cuesta la Reina” estate owned by the winery with 80-year-old vineyards. The manual harvest was carried out in the month of October. No pumping system was used in the process, only gravity so as not to damage the fruit. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts from the vineyard itself, controlling the temperature. The total duration of the maceration was 32 days. Once uncubated, in December, the wine went to French Allier oak and Romanian oak barrels where it was racked 5 times.
It was bottled in June (2 years later), remaining in the bottle for 12 months before being put on sale. With the word Vidau our ancestors called those farms with vines of different varieties. One word, a concept that Bodegas Escudero updates from the past and projects into the future. From the best selection of the most mature grapes from these old vineyards, a grateful and sincere wine emerges, very complex and very natural. A wine that sinks into the roots of tradition and evokes in time the memory of everything that lasts.
Tasting Notes Vidau red
Very covered cherry red color. Intense aromas with notes of ripe fruits, spices, balsamic and well assembled wood. Meaty and tasty on the palate, well balanced, and tannic. Long finish full of nuances with a predominance of ripe fruit and notes of aging.
