Sínodo is the passion project of three friends; Roberto Monforte, Gorka Etxebarria, and Juan Antonio Blanco, who met during their Oenology studies at the University of Rioja.

Raposeras is made with grapes from a singular vineyard planted in 1916 by Juan Antonio's own great grandfather, talk about generational winemaking!

The vineyard is part of Rioja's new classification system and is one of the first official Viñedos Singulares of La Rioja, from the 2018 vintage onwards. Sinodo already has one other vineyard (Los Tollos) designated a Viñedo Singular; so far there are only about 80 vineyards from 50 producers in La Rioja that have been recognized with the title (similar to grand cru in la Bourgogne, France).

In order to achieve the Viñedo Singular designation, the wine must meet a strict set of requirements. This new system will ensure maximum traceability of the region's most unique vineyards and make sure they remain protected in the future.

Raposeras is a deep and brilliant red cherry color. The nose keeps the characteristic cranberry flavour and sweet oak of the previous vintage of Raposeras but with increased intensity. The mouth is a fruit explosion, full-bodied and with a velvety finish.
