El Maquinista 2019 is produced with Tempranillo grapes from carefully selected vineyards in the Rioja region. Rioja is widely recognized as Spain's premier wine region, known for its distinctive wines, often influenced by aging in oak barrels. Rioja vineyards enjoy a moderate continental climate and diverse soils, creating ideal conditions for growing Tempranillo.
