The Baños family originally hailed from Badarán – a village at the southern edge of Rioja. Believing in the potential of the ferrous clay soils and high-altitude vineyards of this long-overlooked part of Rioja, Viña Dorana bears a historic label from Gomez Cruzado for this blend of 60% Tempranillo and 40% Garnacha. Their confidence isn’t bluster as the fresh and intense qualities of this terruño take brilliantly to the moderation provided by 24 months in barrel.
