Torre de Oña Finca Martelo Reserva
- Producer: Torre de Oña
Torre de Oña is a historic estate winery in Rioja Alavesa that sits amid rolling vineyards at the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria, and it has become known for crafting approachable yet expressive Rioja wines that balance fruit intensity with refined structure. Owned and operated by La Rioja Alta, S.A., the estate blends Rioja tradition with contemporary precision, focusing on Tempranillo and other native varieties grown on limestone-rich soils that lend freshness and clarity to the wines. The winery’s portfolio spans classic Rioja categories, showcasing both the vibrant fruit of younger releases and the nuanced development achieved through careful barrel ageing.
Finca Martelo Reserva is a refined expression of Rioja Alavesa, sourced from the estate’s high-altitude vineyards around Páganos, where limestone-rich soils and cooler conditions lend natural freshness and precision. Predominantly Tempranillo, with small portions of Graciano and Mazuelo, the wine is aged in French oak to build structure while preserving purity of fruit. Aromatically it opens with dark cherry and blackberry, layered with violets, graphite and gentle spice. The palate is polished yet focused, combining ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone, finishing long and elegant—an estate-driven Reserva that balances depth with restraint.
