Over the last few years, Rivière has also managed to purchase some distinctive vineyards in different regions which he vinifies separately following a Burgundian approach. His first production came from El Quemado in Covarrubias, a lovely and remote valley in Ribera del Arlanza appellation in Burgos (Castilla y León). Alto Redondo followed in Navarra with some recent purchases in Rioja. Olivier consults for Bodegas Lacus in Aldeanueva de Ebro (Rioja Baja); it is at these facilities where he makes his wines. For Olivier vineyards come first, focused as he is in obtaining high quality grapes. Small fermentation tanks (cement and oak vats) ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 litres enable him to ferment separately either top vineyards or village wines. He usually ferments his reds with stems and he always uses large barrels (300-500 litres) to age his wines.In Rioja Olivier sources his grapes from different areas; old Viura from Labastida for his complex, barrel fermented white El Bastid (formerly called Jequitibá, about €18 in Spain, 7,000 bottles) and a striking and profound wine called Mirando al Sur (only 600 bottles) which literally translates as “Looking South” given that it is aged in sherry butts.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-08T14:01:18-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-08T05:41:41-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Spain","LK0802","Other_Wine","Producer_Olivier Riviere","Region_Rioja","Source_Bestofwines0223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Viura"],"price":46999,"price_min":46999,"price_max":46999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42770221432970,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Olivier Riviere | Mirando al Sur","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":46999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/09_154ece13-ae26-47a0-9c30-ab3aea1bc413.jpg?v=1675852990"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/09_154ece13-ae26-47a0-9c30-ab3aea1bc413.jpg?v=1675852990","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Olivier Riviere | Mirando al Sur at CaskCartel.com","id":24193432354954,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.37,"height":657,"width":243,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/09_154ece13-ae26-47a0-9c30-ab3aea1bc413.jpg?v=1675852990"},"aspect_ratio":0.37,"height":657,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/09_154ece13-ae26-47a0-9c30-ab3aea1bc413.jpg?v=1675852990","width":243}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2019 | Olivier Riviere | Mirando al Sur\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep yellow color. Delicate Bouquet with herbaceous and sherry notes, dried fruit, nuts and hazelnuts.
