To speak of the Rioja Alavesa is to speak of wine. And to talk about wine in the Rioja Alavesa is to talk about Heredad de Aduna. Located in Samaniego, one of those places where wine is lived, Heredad de Aduna has remained throughout its history faithful to a philosophy that always places it next to the tradition established by José Martínez Aduna. A tradition, of course, dynamic and constantly evolving towards a single goal: to always achieve the best.
