Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos

Winery and Winemaking Philosophy

The winery’s first production facility was leased in Roa (1999–2004). Later, a purpose-built winery was constructed in Quintanilla de Arriba, with the first phase completed in 2005 and a second expansion in 2016. The architecture is modern and minimalist, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Winemaking combines advanced fermentation technologies (stainless steel, concrete, and oak) with a strong focus on grape authenticity and minimal intervention.

Flagship Wines

Bodegas Aalto produces two main labels:

• Aalto – the core wine, aged in oak barrels (approximately 30–70% new oak). These wines are complex and impeccably balanced.
• Aalto PS (Pagos Seleccionados) – the flagship wine, made only in selected vintages from the finest individual vineyards. Aged entirely in new French oak, it typically shows greater structure and outstanding aging potential.

Recognition and Accolades

• Bodegas Aalto frequently appears among the Top 100 wineries worldwide, as ranked by critics Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve.
• Leading critics, including Robert Parker and Wine Spectator, consistently award high scores—often 90+ points—to both Aalto and Aalto PS wines.
