Casa La Rad Selección 2021 is an estate wine produced in Rioja Oriental from old vines grown on the historic Casa La Rad plot, the first vineyard planted on the estate.
These vines, trained in the bush style and over 40 years old, grow at altitudes ranging from 630 to 675 meters on poor, well-drained soils that promote low yields and high natural concentration.
The wine is crafted by winemaker Bárbara Palacios and aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels. The aging process adds structure and depth without masking the vineyard’s character.
This selection aims to showcase the balance between intensity and elegance that defines Casa La Rad wines: precise fruit, refined texture, and a distinct sense of place.
Limited production.
