The Red Wine Q de Quintano is an authentic jewel of the Rioja Denomination of Origin, crafted 100% with Tempranillo grapes. This wine pays homage to Manuel Quintano, a pioneer in wine aging in Rioja, who in 1786 introduced Bordeaux techniques learned in the French Medoc to Labastida. Manuel Quintano, a cleric and researcher, revolutionized winemaking in Rioja by applying advanced production and aging methods. Until that moment, aging wines was not considered in Rioja. Quintano studied the process from harvest to clarification in Bordeaux, highlighting the removal of stems, gentle pressing of grapes, and the importance of racking.
