POLA
Our history and philosophy
López Oria is a family winery based in the town of Laguardia in the Rioja Alavesa region. Our family vines were first planted in 1940 by our great-grandfather, and wine-making has since become a family tradition. Now, the fourth generation of the family manages the winery, headed by an oenologist, Isabel López Oria.
In 1998 we built the current winery next to the vineyards, equipping it with modern technology but always keeping the traditional values of winemaking at the heart of our philosophy, to ensure the quality of the wine throughout the entire wine making process: from the grape harvest to the final bottling.
We believe in our methods and philosophy, and we are guided by two main principles:
The personality of Flavour and Quality of Service.
Our vineyards and wines
We have 26 hectares of private vineyards which have grown with the family and are between 30 and 50 years old. We grow Tempranillo red grape and Viura white grape. We have seven different wines, all D. O. Qualified Rioja, under our brand POLA.
We can be found in Laguardia, a town famous for its winemaking connections. Our privileged location beneath the Cantabrian Mountains mean that our vineyards are protected from the harsh winds in winter and exist in the Mediterranean micro-climate.
