The wine
Eduardo and Víctor Hernáiz, current owners of Finca La Emperatriz, have decided to make substantial changes in their winemaking project. This wine in its first vintage already comes under the new Rioja category of Viñedo Singular, the highest quality category in Rioja, backed by the rigorous requirements of the Regulatory Councils (a single plot, yields below 6600kg, and with a result tasting excellent).
Finca La Emperatriz Viñedo Singular Blanco is an expressive wine, with great freshness and a long and persistent finish. The oak, perfectly integrated, accompanies a vintage suitable for white wines.

The winery
Viñedos Hermanos Hernáiz
Finca La Emperatriz is one of the very few Rioja wineries to produce their wines from one single vine-growing plantation, which is customary in Bordeaux's Médoc region (other Rioja wineries employing the same model are Remelluri, Valpiedra and Contino). This is an estate of excellent quality whose potential had already been recognised at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878 and which concealed a very important history. The estate originally belonged to Eugenia de Montijo,...
