Conde de Hervias is a small production Rioja only made in exceptional vintages. It is the product of the exceptional Las Arenillas vineyard. Las Arenillas is located on the right bank of the Ebro river at 475m in elevation near Torremontalbo. It is a tiny 1.5ha parcel with sandy soil. Having sandy soil is not necessarily unique for a vineyard but for its anti-phylloxera trait. These vines (Tempranillo and Graciano) were mostly planted on their own rootstocks back in 1864. Phylloxera would not arrive in Rioja for another three decades but the vines here, in this vineyard in particular, were spared and some are now nearly 160 years old!
