About the Winery

Bodegas Leza García is a fourth-generation, family-owned winery based in Uruñuela, in the heart of Rioja Alta, Spain.

The family farms 135 hectares of its own vineyards, combining traditional Rioja winemaking with modern techniques and complete control from vine to bottle.

Region & Vineyards

Rioja Alta is one of Rioja's most respected winegrowing areas, known for producing elegant, well-structured Tempranillo wines.

The estate's vineyards are situated at elevations of 500–700 metres, with many vines over 40 years old. The higher elevation and cooler nights help preserve freshness while allowing the grapes to develop ripe, concentrated flavours.

Grape Variety

100% Tempranillo

Winemaking

Made from 100% Tempranillo and aged for 12 months in oak. Leza García combines traditional Rioja techniques, including American oak, with modern temperature-controlled winemaking.

Good to Know

Señorío de Odón evokes the idea of a traditional Spanish estate, a fitting name for this classic Rioja.

What does Crianza mean?

Crianza refers to how the wine is aged, not the grape variety. In Rioja, a red Crianza must be aged for at least two years, including a minimum of one year in oak barrels.

This ageing helps develop the wine's smooth texture, complexity and characteristic oak-influenced flavours.

Tasting Notes

Rich and smooth, with ripe dark fruit and a touch of chocolate and spice. Soft, plush tannins give it a generous feel, balanced by enough freshness to keep it lively, with a long, polished finish.
