OXER WINES | KALAMITY 2024 75cl

Kalamity 2024 is a dry red wine produced by Oxer Bastegieta in the D.O.Ca. Rioja. It comes from two historic vineyards: one of 3 hectares in Cárdenas (Rioja Alta) planted in 1903 on clay-ferrous soils, and another of 1 hectare in Elvillar (Rioja Alavesa) more than 100 years old, on clay-limestone soils.

The harvest is done manually, with a careful selection of the bunches. The grapes are fermented separately in open vats, barrels, and concrete eggs with indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels and foudres, allowing the wine to develop its characteristic complexity and elegance.
