- This is the first time that a sparkling wine has been made with mainly indigenous Rioja white grapes: 45% Maturana blanca, 30% Tempranillo blanco, 15% Viura and 10% Chardonnay. Recently recovered from extinction, Maturana Blanca is the Rioja variety with the oldest written record, having been mentioned as early as 1622. Like Godello and Verdejo, it comes from a cross between Traminer (or Savagnin) and Castellana Blanca. Although still a minority grape (with only 39 ha in Rioja in 2020) Bodegas Vivanco is a pioneer in its cultivation use to produce different white wines. Maturana Blanca wines are an intense golden-green, with aromas of white stone fruit, citrus and herbaceous notes, good structure and depth in the mouth, low pH and great cellaring potential for the production of sparkling wines.
