Bodega Nivarius

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Bodega Nivarius is a unique winery in Rioja because it exclusively produces white wines from native varieties such as White Maturana, Viura, and Garnacha Blanca. The winery and vineyards are at elevations of 800 meters, with north-facing vineyards influenced by an Atlantic climate. These conditions create impeccable white wines that express the character and genuine personality of the region’s local white varieties, such as White Maturana. The estate uses honest farming practices with little intervention to respect the biodiversity of the environment, resulting in the most genuine expression of the land and the wines. Nivarius is a Latin term for a natural well where the snow was stored all year round.
