Palacios Vinos de Finca - Nivarius 2021

Altitudes above about 800 meters, north orientation and the influence of the continental climate are the bases on which the estates of the winery are based, a Latin term that defines the natural well where the snow was preserved all year round.

Nivarius is freshness and, if we talk about wine, fresh fruit and natural acidity, essential elements of wines with character and ageing capacity. But it is also a heritage recovery project. Thus, the white Maturana, a variety that was practically extinct in the territory, is one of their mainstays, along with the old vines of Viura and Garnacha blanca that are scattered throughout the headlands of red vineyards. They also work passionately with white Tempranillo, a variety in which the winery is finding an increasingly expressive and attractive variety.
To do this, they look for privileged territories capable of producing inimitable wines, where minimal intervention is sought and where honest agriculture is carried out respecting biodiversity. This completes a way of working that always pursues the best expression of the territory and an honest production with the raw material. In this way, the aromas and flavours of the best Riojan white wines are enhanced, which give meaning to Nivarius.
