Bodegas Exopto

Bodegas Exopto

Bodegas Exopto was founded in 2003 by Tom Puyaubert, with the aim to recover old vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria and Monte Yerga mountains. The aim is to express the multitude of terroirs that make up the Rioja DOCa using sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture. The objective is to produce honest and authentic wines with enthusiasm and a return to artisanal vineyard work.
Bodegas Exopto have 12 hectares of 60-year-old average Tempranillo, Malvasia, and Viura vines around the villages of Ábalos, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, and Baños de Ebro, with a mix of limestone and clay soils, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean.
An additional 10 hectares of old Garnacha and Graciano bush vines around the villages of Alfaro and Aldeanueva de Ebro on sandy soils with river rocks is influenced more by the Mediterranean Sea.
