Spain Trip 2025: Day 1
We arrived in Madrid at 8am and took the 4 hour drive to La Rioja, stopping along the way for a surprisingly delicious gas station breakfast. Classic tortilla (egg omelet), Torta de chorizo con queso and Jamon Iberico.
Our first official stop was in the town of Leza at Bodega Aiurri, a relatively new winery that sits at the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria mountains. The project is the latest endeavor by Alma Carrovejas. With over 60 parcels of old vines in Rioja Alavesa this small but well funded outfit is producing exceptionally fresh and exciting examples of modern Rioja.
