This unique project was born on the occasion of La Buena Vida's 25th anniversary, in collaboration with Abel and Maite. The grapes come from some 2 hectares in San Vincente de la Sonsierra, mainly Tempranillo with some white grapes and Graciano round the corners. All these vines were planted between 1967 and 1969, except a little part of the Tempranillo (in 1978). The parcel lies between 540 and 560 metres above sea-level, very close to the famous Bardallo cru. the soils are clay and limestone, with some silty-loamish areas. The parcel's name comes from the 116 tenth-century tombs scattered around the vineyard. This is one of Abel's best and most beautiful vineyards, so exactly what we needed to produce a wine worthy of our 25th anniversary!

This micro-vinification wine is made with hand selected grapes (berry by berry) from the best and oldest vines. The production is only one to two barrels per year. There are only 36 bottles available for the Belgian market!
2020
This cuvée only uses the best grapes from the oldest vines. Its precise origin can thus vary from one year to another according to the ripeness and quality of the grapes.
2022
A Crianza-level wine, but the bodega cannot use this term (nor Reserva) because its production is too limited.
2023
The carbonic maceration method is traditionally used in Rioja. However, these Riojas are hardly comparable to Beaujolais wines, which are lighter and fruitier than Riojas made from Tempranillo grapes.

Tempranillo (95%), Garnacha Blanca (5%)
One of their grand crus, from a vineyard in Fonzaleche, planted by Eva and her father in 1992. La Calleja is a classic in the making. Pure Tempranillo expression from authentic winemakers.
Tempranillo (80%), Garnacha (20%)
Tempranillo (60%), Viura (30%), Garnacha (10%)
Something very special ! This wine comes from a small vineyard in Sajazarra, of which 2/3 is over 100 years old and 1/3 is Tempranillo of 40 years old. The final field blend ensures we get a light very floral wine with lots of character.

Viura (85%), Garnacha Blanca (10%), Tempranillo Blanco (4%), Rojal (1%)
Beautiful classic white Rioja wine composed of several grapes sourced from plots in Fontaleche, Sajazarra and Labastida. Complex white wine that perfectly reflects their philosophy.
Garnacha, Viura
Typical Clarete : blend of red grapes (Garnacha tinta) and white grapes (Viura). Traditionally very classic for this region, but hardly made by anyone anymore.

Garnacha Blanca (30%), Maturana blanca (30%), Malvasia (20%), Viura (20%)
Limited and original project from the Anton family. Orben's wines are limited and distinct in the range anyway, but this Chocolate is another story in its own right. Sourced from a number of small vineyards totalling 0.8 ha at an altitude of 520 m, located between Laguardia and Villabuena de Alava. Very poor terroir with sandy soils and little water. 3 vintages are always blended into 1 wine, This nr3 is a coupage of 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Sabilde is the name given by the harvesters to the narrow paths followed by the horse-driven carriages through the Cantabria mountains, up to the villages.
