Considered by the Anton family to be their premier site, Finca El Regalo is a single vineyard of Tempranillo planted in 1936 right at the start of the civil war in Spain so it wasn’t registered until 1940. El Regalo means “gift,” and this 3.85-hectare site was planted as a dowry by a newlywed husband for his wife on a terroir of chalky limestone clay covered with pebbles near the village of Villabuena de Álava at an elevation between 480 and 510 meters above sea level. With the 2018 vintage, El Regalo will qualify for the new classification in Rioja – Viñedo Singular.
