Certified biodynamic + organic project located in the Ribera Alta de Navarra. This area between the Ega and Ebro river is ideal for retaining acidity throughout the warm to hot growing season. After pruning, the soils are dressed with green manure – later with organic matter from crushed vine shoots. BioD tea treatments for the prevention of pests and diseases are always within parameters set by the natural cycles, and used as needed up until August. All 500 preparations and composting for Biodynamics occurs on the farm. Hand harvested, native fermentation of whole berries occurs in stainless steel. Daily pumpovers are used to moderate a cool to warm fermentation and minimize tannin extraction. Garnacha and Tempranillo are then blended to age on their lees until bottling unfiltered.
“Luzador” is a warrior of the sun – a fighter for the light. Los Andreses refers to the shared name and talents of the winemaker and winegrowers.
